I started raising a few monarch butterflies a couple of years ago and have purchased ALL of my supplies from this shop!!😊 🦋 All of the products are great, and these little hole lids are awesome. I use individual leaves to feed my cats and these lids are perfect and keep the tiny cats from falling into the floral tubes! 🐛🐛
Hello Tony. I've always purchased your butterfly cages and I have safely raised 685 monarch eggs to caterpillars to butterfly without having to worry about any insects getting to them. The cages are so awesome that I have lots of friends also buying them from you. Thank you for all that you do for our BEAUTIFUL monarchs.
Like that they are not as tall as the ones I had previously!
The sturdy double mesh not only keeps out intruders, it helps the zipper move smoothly + I am addicted to the viewing window!
"The Soft Poo Poo Platter is a game-changer for raising caterpillars! It fits perfectly in my small cage and makes cleanup a breeze. The silicone material is durable, extremely flexible and easy to clean, and it's so much better than dealing with messy paper towels. Highly recommend!"
This is my third set of the Tall Baby INVISImesh caterpillar cage, and let me tell you, it's a testament to this product's incredible versatility!
Setting up and taking down this cage is a breeze. The zipper is smooth and sturdy, and the mesh is incredibly fine, providing excellent ventilation while keeping my tiny cats safe and secure.
I've put these cages through the ringer – multiple broods, frequent cleaning, and even a few accidental drops (oops!). The fabric is incredibly durable and has held up remarkably well.
Its compact size makes it easy to store when not in use, and its versatility makes it a valuable addition to any nature enthusiast's toolkit.
These are a must have for my raising of Monarchs. Perfect for holding Common Milkweed cuttings or 2 or 3 stems of Tropical Milkweed.
Thank you!
I’m appreciate everything Jowful BF does to help all of us raise more BF’s. These inexpensive tents allow them to metamorphosis or overwinter safely!! So glad they do these things!!
The short peg racks are sturdy, easy to clean, and hold lots of tubes for the milkweed. I’m always pleased with the ease of ordering products here, and the timely delivery.
I was able to transfer 8 caterpillars , 7 have evolved in into chrysalis stage, one has emerged and launched. One is still munching away on Milkweed.
I love this store! Tony has everything I need for the monarch season (including so much helpful information), the prices are fantastic, and shipping is so fast!! Thank you, Tony!!
Received just in time to rear two caterpillars, worked great!
These short peg racks are sure to please all Monarch caterpillar raising parents . The short pegs do not allow your little buddies to form a chrysalis on the pegs. This is of great raising value and a good addition to your Monarch supplies.
First time I have bought one of these net cages. Butterflies seem all right . Released one today and one where the caterpillar had lived in a fish tank. Previously released 5 from fish tanks that seemed acceptable to the caterpillars. So cannot decide yet if it was a necessary purchase.
Hi Stephanie, mesh cage provide better air flow and they're more portable...that's why we use them. happy raising!
Well made, zippers from either side and it's well made because I use the zipper several times every day. I also bought the mat for the bottom which I still cover with paper towels to protect the mat, but also to make daily clean up quicker. the mesh prevents the smallest of creatures from getting in and allows for air flow. After the last chrysalis ecloses, it allows for thorough gentle hosing down because of strong but flexible structure.
My son and granddaughter love this book. Great information as they are raising about 7 monarchs to date in the mesh cage. Thank you.
Vi am very pleased with my butterfly cages, poopoo platters and small hole caps for floral tubes.
This is my 2nd purchase of the big baby cage. I like the size of it and how easy it is to move. My only gripe with the newer cage is that the handles are in front & back. So it hangs over the opening/draw bridge and it's a little annoying. My older cage, the handles are on the sides of the cage which I like much better. But either way, it keeps my monarchs safe and happy!
hi Holly, we put the handles over the top of the cage....caterpillars often form chrysalides under them to feel more protected. That way, they also won't be in the way when opening the cage. happy raising!
Love it!
One of the tube arrived cracked. They were unable to send me a single tube replacement, so they just credited me $2.
Love my cages and equipment. Easily accessed, easily cleaned, easy to keep track of stages of monarchs.
The poo poo platters are a fantastic idea for cleaning grass out of mesh cages and I've been really happy with them! Also want to say that I've ordered mesh cages and supplies from other sources, but Tony's are the best I've found! Highly recommend getting your supplies here.
