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. |

HAP Made 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".

Soft Cleaning Sponge Made in the UK
Use this soft cleaning sponge to keep your ELC cage looking as
good as new.
Every month use the wet sponge to wipe down the panels on
the cage and also the roof. Be sure to use cold water or lukewarm water but
never hot water because this will damage the cage. Use dilute bleach to remove
stubborn stains. Rinse well with cold water and dry with a soft cotton tea
towel.
The Soft
Cleaning Sponges are manufactured in the UK.
The size is 11cm x 8cm x
3.5cm. Three colours are available : pink, green and white. Please state
your colour choice when ordering. |

HLQ giant snail
cage Made 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).

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.

(when folded in half) : 33cm x 24cm. . |
