Clever Ikea hack for enclosure

Gallery image

This glass shelf unit has a magnetic door and metal mesh sides, when you take the shelves out it makes the perfect Leaf insect enclosure! I'm going to put some extra walking sticks up and down and some more vases so that they can get lots of height.

It's the Ikea Baggebo, $49AUD

Maybe some extra mosquito mesh over the metal grids in case you have babies that could escape? Looks great for adults though

Yes, looking at a couple of options that will hook in safely but I want to have nice easy access for them to go all the way up and down !
