You might be able to find the folding hampers at walmart or target I know I have gotten them there before. The other thing you could do is get a saucer from a plant pot and some screen. Then make a tube out of the screen and place the saucer on each end. Then twist tie them or use some wire to secure the saucer on each end. I will try to draw what I am talking about and post on here if you need me to.

Here is a link to the tube cage idea:

So think I came up with a small cheap cage idea. I just need the $0.99 pieces of 1x2x8. Told my husband that the smallest I'm willing to go is 18x18x36 I have enough screen from previous enclosures. Then when Ringo gets his reg. enclosure back I'll move Star to the 18x18x36 one

You can go to Home Depot (or online) and look for butterfly cages, they're not strong, but put a live plant and branches for them to climb on and you'd be set. They're about 20 bucks

Yeah I saw them a couple weeks ago. I don't know if they still do though.
