Review on Trasfit Pop Up Butterfly Habitat Terrarium by Chris Hanson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good business. the best science kits and toys

I got this cheap (1/4 price) and it was worth it. But I don't know if I would have paid the full price. In such a case, I prefer to build a habitat out of scrap wood or popsicle sticks and gauze. In any case, I breed moon moths, and this habitat is just right for such a purpose. The attached photos show 2 adults ready to be transported. They have since died (natural causes due to their short lifespan) and now I am taking care of the offspring (which are now approaching the pupation stage). It comfortably accommodates several larvae (caterpillars). When that generation is over, the habitat will be ready for the next - that is, it will be strong enough for continued use. I will say that cleaning is a bit painful. The corners and edges are particularly tricky and require little extra work. So when the litter ends up outside (or under) the bedding, it's tiring. Overall, I don't think I'll ever pay full retail price (almost $40 right now), but if it's about 1/4 to 1/3 of that, it's worth it - if that's what you're looking for in the market. Otherwise, check out some DIY butterfly/moth habitat projects and you'll find that this is a cheaper endeavor.

Pros
