I really like the ER Cube cages for all of the reasons stated in the product ad, but my favorite use is as a Time Out Corner (space) for mischievous instar 5 fatties. While searching for the perfect place to pupate, some of these cuties will poke, prod,and generally harass other cats. When one cat will NOT be redirected to a different area of the cage ceiling I remove it to an ER Cage. I’ve learned that 2 out of 5 (in my experience) will choose the zipper to make its silk button even though it means hanging sideways. Now I put the zipper side down! That eliminates the very awkward situation of a chrysalis on the zipper—a short zipper in a small space! It’s more difficult to move a chrysalis like that than in a regular cage.
We don't use the small cage for wandering 5th star cats, but door down sounds like a good idea for this size cage with no accessories! Thanks for sharing...
Purchased my mini butterfly cage and I can't wait for the upcoming season to use it. It is just what was needed to separate the babies from the adults. I hadn't any idea where to find one of these, but luckily I got two from Monarch Butterfly Life on this site. I'm so grateful & I now know I can find so much more needed items & advice on my Monarch raising. I will be in my third year & am a novice at this, but it is so rewarding & having the right equipment is so very important to me. It makes everything easier. Thank you so much for being there.
With my latest ER purchase, I now have 6 medical and behavioral seclusion rooms for my caterpillar patients. I had a couple cats who needed seclusion to recuperate from tachnid egg surgery, both successful to release; I also had a cat cannibalize 2 roommates, so she (it turned out) was secluded until release, and one cat was charging round and round his feeding tube stand, but not eating, so I secluded him. He made it to J, but did not complete pupation. Thanks to his ER, there were no other such cases. There were even 2 cases of what may have been bird attacks. With a nice quiet private room to rest in, both recovered and completed their life stages with release. Thanks to the ER cages (and even professional surgical instruments), I can take in cats that would certainly have no chance at all at life. The Monarch cages are now collapsed and packed for the season, so the room is a plant nursery, until next August! I love the little ERs, they are life savers.
These are adorable and perfect for so many purposes— travel, ER, etc.! So glad I bought two— more than one is definitely useful! Fast, friendly service and shipping too!
I really like the mini cube that I call the nursery cube. After the eggs hatch and they are moving around I place them in this mini cube. They transition to the bigger cube with more space and fresher milkweed. And if one cat is struggling I can separate this one to put in the mini.
