Insect cages and Liners... |
| The ELC is the best enclosure for most stick insects. This stick insect cage is 51cm tall, remember stick insects need a tall enclosure to grow properly. No extra heating is needed for stick insects, a warm room is OK. Stick insects like airy cages and it's important you can see the stick insects clearly. Use ELC Liners to keep the surroundings clean and to easily control the number of eggs you keep. |
 The ELC cage has two white mesh sides, providing good ventilation. Stick insects can climb easily by hooking their claws around the white mesh sides. |
ELC stick insect
cage Made in the UK
Successful
track record, been in production for 12 years!Stick insects do really well in the ELC cage because they can easily climb the white mesh sides (these are full of specially made holes which give the insects a good foothold). These mesh sides also ventilate the cage, making it nice and airy. The ELC cage is tall so the stick insects have room to grow properly (they do this by sliding vertically downwards out of their old skins). You can see the stick insects very well through the clear front and back plastic panels. The standard roof also has a clear plastic viewing area. It's easy to access the ELC cage. The roof lifts off and the white side (with the green arrow) slides upwards. So you can reach sideways into the cage as well as from the top. The floor is fixed and so it's easy to lift and move the ELC cage around. Keep the ELC cage clean by lining the floor with a disposable ELC Liner (these are available in green, blue and pink). Replace weekly. ELC cages are manufactured in the UK and are dispatched ready assembled so can be used straight away. Specification: Height 51cm, 20". Width 36.5cm, 14½". Depth 27.5cm, 10¾". Weight 2.3kg. Material: plastic. Made in the UK. Capacity: 20 adult Indian stick insects (Carausius morosus) or 15 adult Pink Winged stick insects (Sipyloidea sipylus) or 8 adult Thailand stick insects (four pairs)(Baculum thaii) or A mixture of the above or 6 adult New Guinea stick insects (three pairs)(Eurycantha calcarata) or 6 adult Australian Macleays Spectre stick insects (three pairs)(Extatosoma tiaratum). |
 One of the white mesh sides (with the green arrow) is completely removable, so you can easily reach into the cage from the side. |

HAPMade in the UK Successful track record, been in production for 3
years! The HAP is ideal housing for baby stick insects. Keep stick insects in the HAP until they are approximately two months old, they are then ready to be transferred to the ELC cage. You can easily see the stick insects because the HAP is made from clear plastic. The HAP has no air holes. Young stick insects benefit from the enclosed surroundings and have plenty of air to breathe. Every time you add a fresh leaf, you let more air into the HAP, so there is plenty of air in there for the stick insects. Always put a wet bramble leaf in the HAP, so the baby stick insects can have a drink. Replace the HAP Liner weekly, so they are kept in clean surroundings. You can store stick insect eggs in the HAP for months, leaving them to develop inside. You can see at once when they hatch out because the HAP is transparent and see-through. HAPs are manufactured in the UK. Height 13cm, 5". Diameter 7.5cm, 3". |

Three colours are available : pink, green and white. Please state your colour choice when ordering. |

 Assorted vegetables, Water Dish, and eggshells on the wet HLQ Liner |
HLQ giant snail
cageMade in the UK
Successful
track record, been in production for 8 years! The HLQ cage is supplied with grey HLQ Liners that are designed to be used wet. This is a successful and hygienic way to maintain high humidity in the cage. So there are no unpleasant flies and smells associated with having wet soil at the bottom. The HLQ cage is designed for snails with a shell length of 3cm or more. If you have adult Giant African Land Snails, also provide a dish of soil (for them to bury their eggs). It's easy to access the HLQ cage. The roof lifts off and the front panel slides upwards. The HLQ is made from thermal performance plastic which means that if the surroundings get hotter, the panels change shape and let more air into the cage. This type of plastic is also exceptionally easy to clean, and so the snail poo and any detritus can easily be washed off using lukewarm water and the Cleaning Sponge. HLQ cages are manufactured in the UK and are dispatched ready assembled so can be used straight away. Specification: Height 40cm, 15½". Width 36.5cm, 14½". Depth 27.5cm, 10¾". Weight 2.4kg. Material: plastic (thermal performance). Made in the UK. Capacity: Giant African Land Snails (Achatina fulica) : 2 adults or 10 immature ones (minimum shell size 3cm). |
 The front panel slides up so you can reach into the cage |

HLQ
Liners Hold this thick soft Liner under a running tap of cold water until it is thoroughly wet. Then fold it in half and slap the wet Liner on the floor of the HLQ snail cage. Replace weekly. This is a very effective way of increasing the humidity in the snail cage. There is no mess and so it is much better than using soil. It is much more hygienic because you don't get the small flies that result from having wet soil. Liner size (when folded in half) : 33cm x 24cm. . |
