Would Crickets or other insects be able to get out of this enclosure?

It's pretty secure. I feed crickets and one rarely finds a way out of the enclosure before it becomes lunch!

No, its very sealed, and the screen mashes are very little maybe fruit flies would be able to pass trough, or if the frame is a little bended and creates a small gap.

yes they can get out there are gaps at the bottom of the enclosure so if this is the only home of your pet you might have a problem...i love mine though! my dragons are only in it a few hours a day so it works for me....good luck!

It is a pretty solid cage and as long as is closed you are safe, but if you are using any backdrop crickets do hide behind it and die, making the whole thing a mess to clean.

By looking at it i would have to say they would not be able to get out of this enclosure, But the person who puts it together must follow the instructions properly .

No it's actually a really good cage for the $. I have chameleon so I tilt my cup of crickets against the screen so they crawl up it. There are no separations or spaces for them to escape.

I left the pvc bottom in with no substrates and I never saw a single cricket get out. I was feeding my chameleon large crickets though, not too sure about smaller ones.

It wouldn't work for that. Lizards are not heavy enough to trip the mechanism that releases the door.

I don't believe so, so long as you latch it shut each time (a simple process) - latching forms an airtight seal all around. Of course, if your contents already have bugs in them, then the seal will keep the bugs from getting out :-)

I don't think they can crawl out. I tried with ant and it doesn't come out.

No, but any open gap can let in flying insects. My guess is only a perfectly sealed camper could keep out flying insects.

No! There is no openings for insect to get though. Only light can get through.

it closes pretty tight--if you have strong critters they might be able to pop it up,but i don't think so--it's pretty secure.

Some really big roaches can eventually make their way off the pad, but it will catch many of them for sure. It will take a mean one a day or two to eventually get off, so you'll have time to kill him anyway.

I don't have those critters so I don't know. The lid slides open but you almost have to be standing on the ground to do that. I don't know that is animal could get it off on its own

Probably not. Small insects can't get through the mesh, but a bee's stinger could.

I have the smaller one personally (same brand), I have not had problems with crickets getting out. As far as locking it- there are latches on the door. If you want to put something like an actual lock on it (IE with a key), I am not sure that this product would be the best. The frame is plastic (on the smaller one). You might want to look into building one out of wood and wire screen in that case. Check out chameleonforums.com, many people there have built their own cages- I am sure someone could give you pointers.

I have no knoledge over that. You might wanna ask someone that does on a butterfly forum or something. But I dont see why it wouldnt. Its a pretty good enclosure.

Not easily. Only one tent has a base, the other is open on the bottom. The openings to crawl through are low to the ground, so the balls could easily escape.

I don't have crickets but the traps catch spiders , scorpions and other crawly things from my floor. And no you don't touch the insects - just pick up the cardboard trap and throw the little pests away :>)

if it can attract them,I doubt that it could hold 100% of them. While the screen is fairly small, I would guess that a trapped one would find a hole to escape. Gnats don't usually go through screens. However, I think they might escape in a confined area. To answer the attraction question, If they would go towards an electronic zapper, they would also go to this trap, too.

I don't know that it would unless it crawled through it or somehow got enough on it's body to dehydrate the little creature. I know this works exceptionally well with crawling things, because the insects crawl through the stuff and it basically is like getting cut all over and drying out until dead. Knats/Nats fly, so you might try, but I don't believe it would be as successful.

I don't think so, it's really not a huge enclosure. I think they would get in each other's way.
