Butterfly cages

I have your tall cage and your cube and successfully raised 32 monarchs this Summer on my Ohio front porch! In the attached photo, you can see the cube behind the tall net cage, with many monarch chrysalides lined up at the top. The zipper doors are a little tough to open and close for the many cleanings and feedings, but overall I am very pleased with these cages!

Very Handy Size Cage

The 15x15x15 inch cube mesh cage is a perfect size for my medium cats. Tubes filled with swamp milkweed fit in it nicely and with the plastic floor liner, it's really easy to clean daily. I highly recommend it. The customer service from Monarch Butterfly Life is excellent. Great business!

15 x 15 butterfly cage

My oldest daughter took my 15 x 15 to raise caterpillars earlier this summer. I bought two more, one for my other daughter and one for me. Oldest daughter really likes her, fits well on her condo balcony table. I haven't used mine yet, but will this next week when my Monarch Watch cats are delivered for the Great Migration. They say to raise the cats outside as much as possible. Thanks for all you do for us, Tony!

24 hours too late

I found caterpillars on my raised dill weed and ordered this and a few other things. Although you were fast on shipping, I missed them disappearing by 24 hours. I was sad but have seen a couple of Swallowtails flitting around and hope it is them! I am ready for them now.

window cages

this would be the 3rd butterfly cage I've purchased from you. they are great. very sturdy, easy to clean and store thru the winter. i highly recommend

Handy tubes

These fat cat water tubes are great, and I really like the small hole lids. The little cats need smaller milkweed, which fit perfectly in these lids.

Very suitable

This accommodates butterflies nicely, whether you feed by a container milkweed plant, or the tubes with stems, (which is mostly what I do). I have the bigger size also, but prefer this size, as easier to place on a stand near light.

Measure cages carefully

This is a high quality product, and can make keeping cages much cleaner. However, I didn't realize that my cages were not the right size as I purchased from another vendor. They fit nicely in the small cube, but my tall ones are a bit narrower than the PP-platter, so they gap and don't fit perfectly. I instead now use them under my cages to protect the table top I set my nursery up on.

I have communicated this with Tony already, and am satisfied with my purchase, but wish I had paid closer attention to the sizing. They are still an asset to my Monarch Nursery!

Large poo poo platter

Love the new platter.. Doesn't absorb water and super easy to clean... Great idea!

Works well

I just began using my short peg rack a few days ago. I like the shorter pegs a lot in terms of preventing the caterpillars from pupating on the pegs. However, I learned I need to be super careful when moving the rack to clean the cage and refill the tubes —otherwise, a tube may fall out. Also, my cats aren't pupating on the rack, but a couple chose the underside of a leaf! So there's still relocating to do, but it will be much easier than relocating a chrysalis from a peg. I recommend.

Hi Sally, thank you for your review. a couple quick tips that could make your experience better:

1. If you push the tubes all the way down into the rack they will not come out

2. If you spread the tubes out over the rack (we typically use 4-6 tubes max) caterpillars are less likely to pupate under leaves

Happy Raising!
