I've seen conflicting info browsing this board so I figured I'd ask for opinions. Which is better for nymphs, a net cube or a plastic/glass jar with fabric lid?

I have my baby shield mantids in a 1/2 pint glass jar but it is HARD to get them back in and was considering a net cube for ease of feeding but wasn't sure if it was a good idea or a death sentence for the babies. Opinions/thoughts are appreciated :)

 
I would say you could use either. I mostly use plastic containers, but that is because they are cheaper than nets.

Thanks for the replies guys :) I think I may get some, I only have two nymphs so the cost isn't prohibitive for them
