| QBOXES QBOXES are clear plastic boxes with push on lids that are ideal for storing stick insect eggs and for housing baby stick insects. QBOXES are also great for housing caterpillars. QBOXES are really easy to see into because they are made from crystal clear strong plastic. You can wash them in the dishwasher and they will last for years. QBOXES are 7cm x 7cm x 7cm which is 3" x 3" x 3". You can stack QBOXES on top of each other because the lids interlock with the bases. QBOXES work really well and we use hundreds of QBOXES for our stick insect eggs, hatchlings and caterpillars. They work because they are the optimum size and because they do not have airholes (which would make the surroundings too dry). QBOXES are sold in packs of two, four or six. If you would like more than 6 QBOXES, please contact us for a price. Use a QBOX Liner on the floor of the QBOX and replace this frequently to keep the surroundings clean. And the Easy Peel Labels are ideal to stick on to the lid of the QBOX to identify what is in there. These labels are great because when it's time to remove them, you can peel these labels off the QBOX without leaving sticky residue behind. |

| Ventilation Grilles |
|
If you're looking to modify an existing tank, then you'll
need our Ventilation Grilles. Made from see-through plastic, these Ventilation Grilles can be cut to size with scissors and taped over an existing opening. The Ventilation Grilles allow plenty of light and air to enter the enclosure. And the insects can get a good foothold around the holes with their claws. The holes in the Ventilation Grille are 3mm in diameter and so don't use it for containers housing tiny insects, such as baby mantids and newly hatched stick insects. It is easy to keep the Ventilation Grilles clean; just wipe with a warm soapy cloth and rinse well. Each Ventilation Grille is 34cm x 23cm, which is 13" x 9 " approx. |
