The Bug Studio Professional with New Guinea stick insects
The sides are semi-rigid and clear - they are not white mesh!
We are top insect breeders and as well as breeding the insects we have designed, developed and manufacture a range of proper insect cages.

The Bug Studio Professional is a large, tall cage, made from see-through PVC. But instead of the sides being solid (like in tanks) they are full of specially made holes, allowing the insects to breathe and climb easily.

We do not recommend using stuffy tanks to house insects, nor do we recommend flimsy netting enclosures nor the black net frameworks which are difficult to see into.
The Bug Studio Professinal - wrapped
A packaged Bug Studio Professional - remove the protective green leaf wrap before use.

Use the Bug Studio Professional to successfully keep stick insects or caterpillars or fruit beetles or Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches.
