The material is tricot like the inside of swimwear has. The containers are 3 cup and larger, but anything will do. Just cut a hole in the top and tack the material in place with hot glue.
I usually put lots of first instart (babies) in a cage, as they grow I split them up to more cages. Adults usually no more than three to a cage. The plastic allows you to scrape off the webbing of the chrysalis and pin it to styrofoam to emerge, so I quit using the sticks.
