Miniature Cages

Our miniature cages are perfect for some spiders, and also for crawling and flying insects of all types including small or immature stick insects or mantids and egg-laying lepidoptera. Lightweight and portable, our mini cages are also useful for travel, offering temporary accommodation for a wide range of insects.

At 8" (20cm) in diameter and 12" (30cm) long, the Mini-beast is our smallest free standing cage. Quick to erect, the Mini-beast cage is constructed with a sewn-in top and bottom ring, onto which are clipped three external legs.

The other two handy little cages in our range are our popular budget Bug cage which features an internal two-legged two-section ring frame, and the slightly larger Critter cage. The Critter cage uses a triple-section ring frame system with three legs - improving stability for only a small additional cost.

Insect Flight & Breeding Tabletop Cages

Insectopia's rectangular tabletop® cages for larvae and flying insects are particularly elegant for insect display, with high all-round visibility providing excellent viewing and gently rounded corners to avoid insects being trapped. Use includes, flight, demonstration, and pairing of many insects, egg laying (optionally, potted plants may then be taken out and covered with an Insectopia flat-top flowerpot cage) and rearing of all insect development stages.

Suitable for use indoors, outdoors, or in the laboratory or greenhouse, these versatile cages have an 'n' shaped big door double-slider zipped easy access for attending to larvae, changing plants, and general maintenance. They are weather resistant, being constructed with a hygienic sturdy plastic base for easy cleaning, and plastic coated wire frame. Our tabletop® cages can accommodate potted or cut plant nectar sources or artificial feeders.

Our tabletop® cages can be assembled without tools in around 7 minutes, and are similarly very easily dismantled for flat storage.

At 57" wide (1.45m) x c.60" tall (1.52m), the tent cage is our largest product. It can be used outdoors when placed on flat surfaces such a patio or lawn, or in the greenhouse.

A generous access through a large sweeping double slide zip is provided for attending to plants and insects, and for cleaning. The Insectopia tent cage is also large enough for photography, with the photographer inside the tent. Use includes, flight, demonstration, and pairing of many insects, egg laying (optionally, potted plants then may be taken out and covered with an Insectopia flat-top flowerpot cage), rearing of all insect development stages.

Similar in style to small domed camping tents, this cage uses the same flexible fibreglass sectioned tent poles and method of erection. In windy conditions the corners can be secured with 4 pegs (supplied) skewered into the ground. The net sides and integral porous groundsheet are designed so that no insects can enter or escape, and there are no projecting internal seams to trap or hide insects. When dismantled it is packed in a bag approx 30" long (76cm) x 8" (20cm) diameter. Weight approx 3lbs 12oz (1.7kg). Erection/ dismantling time about 10 minutes. Please note that the groundsheet is always black, regardless of whether the tent is manufactured with black or white netting.

Maximum of 3 cages per customer order. Typical lead time 1-2 weeks per cage. Note that in busy periods production timescales may be longer. If you wish to order more than one cage, to avoid disappointment please email us to check current delivery timescales and availability before placing your order. Note that Express Delivery is not available on this item, and should not be selected from the postal options.
