Handles for easy portability
Clear PVC Window to observe monarchs while they grow and transform

DAll sizes needed!
I have the Small Cube mainly for raising My eggs until They need a lot more of a branch then a few leaves to eat. I've also been raising Gulf Firtillary Butterflies. This is the perfect size Cage for these interesting catapillars and the type of branch They eat. I have always been extremely satisfied with My purchases from the Monarch Butterfly Life! I can always know the Service will be 💯 % guaranteed!!

He loves it
He just opened it as a gift, loves it, wishes I had purchased the taller one. Instructions on how to open (pull up the plastic side) would have been helpful. Btw, we recently successfully raised a female Monarch in a cat carrier

Waiting for Swallowtails
I ordered the cage because I had found some Swallowtail chrysalises in my yard (after watching the caterpillars enjoy my parsley). It now hangs in my garage with the chrysalises inside. I have a question, though, which no one has answered for me: do the chrysalises need to be upright? Because they tend to roll to their sides and I don't know if the butterflies will be able to emerge in that case. If someone can answer this for me I would appreciate it.
Hi Bonnie, the chrysalides don't need to be hanging. More info in this post:
I made the mistake of ordering by looking at the photo. Should have gotten my measuring tape out. I ordered this for a friend and she won't let me return it. It's huge...
It is very well made as always.
My error :( Had to share the photo I took. Now, if I had seen this, I definitely would not have ordered this one.
