Great Butterfly Cages

The two cages arrived in good time and in excellent condition. They are already inhabited by caterpillars of varying sizes. I separate the tiniest hatchlings from the larger caterpillars so that the smaller ones
are not accidentally "eaten" by the larger ones. Already this season, I have released 31 Monarch butterflies from these cages, including a cage I had from last year. These cages provide excellent protection
from flies and other marauding insects. They really enhance the joy of the hobby.

Hope

Absolutely love our monarch house. My husband and I sit and watch our pillars like it was TV. That clear panel is perfect!

Giant size to grow large milkweed or many potted plants

This giant size enclosure is the one to get for serious monarch catepillar raising. Can enclose very large milkweed, or turn on side and put many smaller ones inside. I got two. One to regrow plants and another to protect catepillars. Well made and easy to clean.

Excellent Size

I received the Monarch tower two or three weeks ago. I'm really pleased with the size of it and the side opening door. I'm looking forward to raising our second round of monarchs in it. It's large enough to hold several plants. Thanks !

I ordered 2 butterfly cages and a nursery cage from Monarch Butterfly Life. I received them quickly and love them. They are easy to use , no assembly. I am waiting for Monarch catapillars now, hopefully some will show up in my garden later this year. I also like all the info I get on the website and newsletters...Thank you soooo much!!!!

Monarch Tower

Good quality. My grandsons very happy to be raising Monarchs in it this year. I’m happy with the purchase.

Tubes are good, rack I'm uncertain on

I bought 2 of the yellow racks along with tubes but I don't think I'll be using the yellow racks. My cats couldn't "figure out" how to get up to the cuttings and I had to give them a boost (or 10). It was just awkward. I am using the tubes for the cuttings and just laying them on the poo-poo platter in this way - I'm putting a wet cotton ball and a couple extra drips of water in the tube so it doesn't leak, but the cuttings stay moist enough. I cut the leaf along the rib so I can stick it further into the tube. Now I have to find another use for the racks, but I'm sure I will.

Hi Jeanne, you're supposed to put the caterpillars on to the cuttings...not on the cage (or platter) floor. They will sometimes crawl down the rack to molt (shed their skin), but they have no issue crawling back up to the milkweed. happy raising, Tony

Great purchase!

The tower is exactly as described and good quality - no problem with the zipper. This is the best purchase I could have made because it allows me to protect the caterpillars from predators and keep an eye on them as they tend to wander off when ready to pupate. and I like that it is portable. I have 2 two gallon plants in mine right now along with 20 caterpillars and 10 chrysalises.

Baby Cube

I have 2 now /also 2 plastic poo trays... I do like them... I had been using a large mesh enclosure past 6 yrs ( hamper ) opened from top and sides... these baby cubes of course are easier... my only comment is I keep bumping my forehead on the top of them as they are shorter " this too will pass "

Love the Cubes (Big and Small)

I first bought the Big Cube with the side window. I love the drawbridge design, especially love for bigger plants and I love the window for checking/watching. It's also handy using "With" the Smaller Cube. I will put the Smaller Cube inside the Big Cube when I have Eastern Black Swallowtail chryssalis attached to the sides on the Smaller Cube so that the wasps can't get at the chrysallis. I also bought 2 Smaller Cubes which are a great size for raising Caterpillars inside and for releasing the butterflies. Not real crazy about the poo poo platters. I did have a caterpillar that found it's way underneath and almost got smooshed. Luckily I was home and freed it right away. I also bought the rack and fat floral tubes. I found that the water drys up pretty fast in the fat floral tubes and the rack has to be cleaned often due to poo poo buildup. I guess I like the easier old fashioned way of feeding and cleaning up (vase and paper towels).
