Rearing tins with gauze in the lid

Rearing boxes with gauze in the lid – safe housing for young animals

The Rearing cans with gauze in the lids are among the most popular containers for raising small terrarium animals. They are lightweight, sturdy, and extremely versatile. This makes them suitable for both young animals and invertebrates that remain small.

The transparent plastic allows you to see your animals clearly at all times. At the same time, you’ll need to open the container much less often, which helps avoid unnecessary stress. This makes daily checks easier and also ensures greater safety during the rearing process.

Optimal ventilation thanks to ventilation mesh

The lid has a permanently welded-in ventilation mesh. This ensures continuous air circulation while preventing the buildup of stagnant air.

The exceptionally fine mesh also reliably prevents small feed animals from escaping. Even Drosophila fruit flies stay safely inside the container. This makes the rearing containers ideal for raising jumping spiders, mantises, and many other species that are regularly fed fruit flies.

Easy to Use in Everyday Life

The lid fits securely on the container and reliably prevents the animals from escaping. At the same time, it can be opened quickly at any time, making feeding and cleaning particularly easy.

The smooth interior surfaces make it easy to remove dirt quickly. This makes the cages suitable for both individual animals and larger breeding facilities.

Customize

The rearing tanks can be easily adapted to the needs of each species. This creates optimal conditions for growth and development.

Items suitable for decorating include, among others:

• Cork bark
• River root
• Terrarium Moss
• Soil substrate
• Paper towels
• Water storage tank

Depending on the species, the enclosure can be designed to look very natural or kept deliberately simple. While natural-looking setups offer plenty of hiding spots, simple enclosures make daily care easier.

Perfect for bioactive rearing tanks

Even small breeding tanks can be set up to be bioactive. For example, springtails can be used as natural “soil police.” This helps break down uneaten food and organic debris, keeping the substrate clean for longer.

In addition, small plants or mosses can be incorporated. This creates a natural microclimate while providing the animals with additional hiding spots and places to climb.

Four sizes to meet different needs

The rearing cans are available in three different sizes and are therefore suitable for numerous animal species and stages of development.

Available sizes:

• 550 ml – Height 8 cm | Diameter 9 cm
• 870 ml – Height 12.5 cm | Diameter 11.5 cm
• 1000 ml – Height 14.5 cm | Diameter 11.5 cm

The versions with 870 ml and 1000 ml have the same lid. The only difference is the height of the can.

Suitable accessories for your setup

For successful rearing, we recommend that you:

• River root – provides ideal climbing and molting opportunities for young animals.
• AquaLighter Pico Tablet LED – provides cost-effective lighting.
• Insektenliebe Terrarium Moss – creates a natural microclimate and increases humidity.
• Insektenliebe Forest Humus – is ideal for bioactive rearing containers.
• Replacement mesh for BraPlast containers – ideal for tarantulas that like to tear at the gauze.
• Feeding hatch for BraPlast cans – Allows for maintenance without opening the lid. Perfect for tree-dwelling species.

This creates optimal conditions for successful rearing, while ensuring your animals are kept safely, stress-free, and in a manner appropriate to their species.

Conclusion

The Rearing cans with gauze in the lids They provide optimal conditions for raising a wide variety of terrarium animals. Thanks to the secure ventilation mesh, the Drosophila-proof design, and the transparent construction, they combine safety with ease of use. At the same time, the various sizes and flexible layout allow for species-appropriate care from the juvenile stage through further development. This makes them among the most essential tools for any successful terrarium breeding program.
