Review: Perfect critter habitat - Bought for my son as a Christmas gift. His favorite thing to do outdoors is to catch his critters. This was perfect for him to observe all the different insects and plants he finds. I would buy again!
Review: Perfect for the budding junior naturalist. - It’s getting loads of use and holding up well. Many frogs, toads, fireflies, caterpillars, and other bugs have had temporary housing in this little habitat. It’s much easier to see into than previous habitats we’ve had. The size seemed a bit small at first, but it’s not a permanent home, so it definitely works as it is. Just gives my son a chance to observe, photograph, & ID various critters - he is a naturalist at heart, so this thing is a must have item for our family. :-) The light is a nice feature. The air holes are great but not large enough to let the various critters we have observed out of the habitat. I liked the door better on a previous model we had, but all in all this habitat has more pros than that one did. So thumbs up from this nature loving family. 👍🏼👍🏼
