Uncle Milton Butterfly Farm Habitat, Multi-Colour, 57, 1

Good for kids keep them entertained and the learn

Very bad item cause butterfly was not included and with refund I had issue it’s take long time

We've been enjoying catching things from the yard to keep in here. The boys are looking forward to getting caterpillars soon for our homeschooling unit study on butterflies.Seems to be holding up, so far. Was fairly easy to put together; although as the net fits snugly over it, that's been tricky to put down; but nothing crazy. Would buy again!

No me gusto

Perfect for my class and our butterflies

This habitat is great! If one takes their time, there shouldn't be any issue with the fitting of the covering. I ordered this kit for my 4 year old grandson. Was easy to assemble, and the cover went on fine, just needing a little stretch here and there. Start at the top and don't rush, it's supposed to fit tight, a little tugging is all it needs.Once assembled, order your caterpillars with the enclosed coupon. Open the bottom and attach the cup to the top, or one can do what I did. I simply inserted a few small branches into the habitat, and left the cup (food) near the branching. As the caterpillars got larger, they soon ventured out of the cup, up the branches where they established themselves into chrysalis. I didn't like the idea of a crowded top, and the branching worked out great for the caterpillars, and me. Once all the chrysalis appeared, I removed the cup of food, and inserted a small marigold pot into the bottom of the habitat. It took a bit of time, but in the morning I'd find one butterfly. The second day another, on the third morning, all were flying within the habitat.NOW: I thought it was getting a bit crowded in there, so I ordered the "Rest-Cloud" 15x15x23 inch butterfly habitat from Amazon for 12.99, and I'm very happy I did. I transferred everything (minus the branches) into the new habitat, (I've left my review of that item on the Amazon page). I STRONGLEY ADVISE to make this additional purchase, as I'm hooked on these little 'guys', and I plan to purchase more to release in my coming New England (Massachusetts) garden.I have no complaints on this habitat, it's assembly, quality, or the way its performed. I'll continue to use it for the chrysalis stage, then transfer into the larger habitat.PLEASE NOTE: This habitat or the larger, I suggest using a paper towel on the bottom of each as these little critters 'poop', and that can lead to illness in the butterflies if exposed for a period of time (gets into their food source). It also make the keeping the habitat clean to the eye.GREAT PRODUCT!

I thought that this would be a great gift idea. Super cute, and easy to put together. However once you have everything assembled, you need to stretch the screening around the awkward dome shape. In my case it kept on popping off, and eventually torn a little from trying to stretch it to stay around the base. Given it is suppose to be tight-fit so that your critters cannot escape, but I think it is made a little bit too small. Just a fair warning. Have a plan B planned, just in case your netting rips too much, or you cannot get it to stay around the bottom base.
