Review on Collapsible Terrarium for Creating πŸ¦‹ a Butterfly Habitat in Your Backyard by Sal Muniz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Would not recommend in science kits and toys

This is a reinforced laundry hamper with a transparent window on one side. Loops for fastening/tying are small and flimsy. It keeps the heat inside and stinks of chemicals right out of the box. I used it indoors so the wind wouldn't blow it away. My monarch caterpillar has not taken root in it. I disturbed the caterpillar every time I opened it to feed and clean the cage. When the caterpillar tried to get up, it fell off the top and died. It was an overpriced mistake that I will not make again. I have used several fine mesh glass tanks on other caterpillars and they have worked much better both inside and out.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Without machine
