Very pleased with the size and easy to work with
I love this small one. I also have the biggest one which is a lot of fun! Love anything to help with the monarch’s.
This is my first year raising a few monarch caterpillars. When I had first thrown the leaves into their habitat, they dried out pretty quickly. I thought there must be another way - of course there was! The peg rack and “fat cat” tubes are perfect for keeping milkweed leaves or stems fresher than a few hours. Usually I had to get rid of mostly fresh leaves simply due to the amount of frass. I’m now in the chrysalis watch phase and very excited - thanks to these ingenious accessories! Bravo! 👏
I love the peg racks and tubes! Before buying these, I was putting a milkweed plant in my cages. Keeping the plants sufficiently watered without damaging caterpillars was difficult. The peg racks and tubes work perfectly to keep enough watered, milkweed stems for the hungry caterpillars to eat. So glad I found these and purchased them!
I bought a flag for myself and one for my cousin. The fabric is great, not nylon, and will be able to withstand the outside elements easily. The flag adds an extra touch to the native plant bed in my front yard.
The caterpillar cage provides a perfect environment for the larvae to mature, and ultimately a spacious environment for the adults to emerge (with the cage door open, they can fly away upon emerging). The cage is well constructed and works well for me.
I have 4 of these cubes and plan to buy more. I have many different sizes of cubes but find these are the most manageable in separating the different instars of monarchs and eastern black swallowtails I raise.
Our property is a Monarch waystation and I have been working with the butterflies for 6 years. I have 3 garden beds full of milkweed and many varieties of nectar flowers. I use your cages inside both small and large while the temps are high. When they approach their final change, I move them outside to a larger cage for chrysalis stage. Your cages are wonderful, love the drawbridge style. Great product!
I’ve always been happy with my purchases and quick delivery of products from Monarch Butterfly Life Cycle.
I have been shopping on this site for years. I have had good experiences. Many of these articles are unique to Monarch Butterfly
Life.I can recommend this site unreservedly.
i received my order for a butterfly cage an accessories and my great grandchildren are very happy with it. They are anxiously awaiting monarch eggs or cats on their milkweed so they can begin to use it. The service I received excellent. I had accidentally deleted the email that gave me the download info for the book I also ordered, they immediately resent the email. And when I had trouble attempting to close the cage, someone was there to assist me with how to do it. I will be ordering rom this company again when the need arises.
I am
Very pleased
With the products I purchased. Good quality and the shipment came very quickly. Thanks for providing me with the right cages and feeding tubes to help increase monarch populations!
Excellent quality products that shipped very quickly. Thanks!
Thank you...they are perfect!
These folk know the beauty and grace of the monarchs and how it is possible to encourage and protect them at every stage of their lives. I could not be happier with the cage and feeding tubes received. Now, just waiting for pupae to show up!
I have been looking for something like this for many years. Perfect volume, better quality construction, good for host plants of many Lepidoptera species.
I also gave a set to a fellow Monarch Host that has raised them for years. I think these will make feeding them a little easier. She was excited to try them for her 1st batch of eggs she started supporting this week.
I am happy with the peg rack, but would also like the one with longer pegs.
Hi Jim, we switched to the shorter pegs because they are easier to clean and so the caterpillars won't try to form chrysalises on them...this was an issue with the longer pegs. happy raising!
ordering was easy and once point! Delivery in great shape and am now just waiting for this years monarchs to find my milkweeds
Very satisfied with everything so far
Fast shipping of great products. I enjoy working with your company
For years I have leaned on this site for supplies and knowledge - thanks for being there!
I love my butterfly Habitat! It is perfect!
I collected 6 caterpillars and put them inside with a Milkweed plant, which they devoured and then attached themselves to become chrysalis.
I just released my last butterfly!
Can’t wait to get more caterpillars and do it again😊
I am very happy with my poo poo platter but haven't used it yet. It will be so easy to just grab it and clean it🤗 Thank you Tony
Great information. Very helpful.
