okay so this is it I think that Kaytee the owner the critter trail line has
been listening to those who have been wanting large habitats this is the
critter trail super habitat it's good for hamsters gerbils or mice it is 540
square inches of living space that's a lot
it's the biggest habitat I've ever gotten from habitrail or critter
trail or any of them expandable port on the end I'll show you
that easy to clean bottom comes right off rounded corners save for pets large
top access door quarter inch bar spacing so even mice shouldn't be able to get out
of it and of course as I said it's by Kaytee everything comes all wrapped up in
plastic here so we're gonna cut that out and I'm gonna take you through this
step-by-step this is the cover it has a huge cage opening on it and it clips in
there you want to make sure that it aligns nice and that it overlays those
edges around the opening there and this is a close-up of the latching system
very simple but the good thing it's big so you can reach right in arrange your
pets put large ornaments in there if you want to and then here's the end
bubble that covers the connection where you can add other habitats to it if you
want to and this is the insert there's a biscuit in there that later if you're
gonna connect it to other cages you will be cutting out but for now we'll just
leave it put together those are the raised edges sometimes people ask and
it's pretty common they want to know if this thing's compatible with other
systems and we'll go over that too you also get the comfort shelf that thing is
big and then you get this ladder which is the safety ramp they call it has
little ridges on it now this is a Habitrail elbow and those are Habitrail
connectors and that's the critter trail connector they are interchangeable so
if you have Habitrail critter trail you can connect these things all together
they are compatible in both directions the critter trail rings will connect
Habitrail elbows and straights and things like that so these little bunny
ears stick down here and they stick up and that's where you're going to connect
it to the base or to the roof respectively
this is the back side you just bend them and fold these pieces together and once
they're together you're gonna drop it right into the open areas on the base
and we'll show you that real quick this is just showing you how it should
look all put together this is the time if anything's bent you want to
straighten it out a little the wire is not that tough you can hand bend it so
here it is on the base notice the tabs are sticking through around the bottom
if you've got it upside down now's the time to flip it over so make sure that
these go all the way through and you see the little 90-degree turn out there at
the bottom make sure those Clips go all the way into the base so when you pick
it up the base goes with it you don't things falling apart same type of
connector on the top and here's the opening at the end we're going to put
that little bubble insert there last thing let's take a tape measure out
really quick just the Caged party goes up to 11 inches just under 6 inches for
the depth of the base right in the center now here's that comfort platform
you want to connect that to the third bar up so just count them up from the
bottom and clip them right in there and those clips will remain of course on the
inside of the plastic base but they will connect to the third bar so here again
the safety ramp they call it I'm gonna take this thing off of course and I'm
gonna make one out of wood but because I'm showing what comes in the box I'm
showing you how to hook it up here and you can put that anywhere along that
comfort platform I've put it all the way to the side because I want there to be
extra room in the middle there for other things you're also gonna want to put
some nice bedding in this something that's approved for the pet that you're
gonna own I think that some of the pets are gonna chew this little safety wrap
there so just count on replacing that maybe with something wooden here is the
connection of the bars on the top and that's going to the roof system they
just clip in over that second rail and you'll feel it get nice and rigid there
so you'll know that they're in place don't try to force it if things aren't
going well take a look at this up close and just make sure yours matches up this
is a close-up of the latching system for the roof entry and it's pretty
straightforward looking in for the top things all
together lots of room in there and this thing is tall obviously you're just
looking at a video of it you probably can't really appreciate the scale of it
this thing is really big and this is everything that comes with it you do not
get a water bottle you don't get a food dish it comes just like this now
we're gonna put the bubble entry here the area where you can connect other
habitats if you want to there it is inserted we push it in from the inside
so that these little clip tabs are facing out if you get the other way your
pet can probably chew those tabs right off and then they've got an exit point
so we're gonna put that on there do not cut out this insert until you're ready
to connect to another habitat even though they have included this little
bubble that goes on the outside so we'll just put that there I can so that you
don't lose it I highly recommend that you connect it to other habitats because
you can create a village if you want to see a critter trail or even a Habitrail
village look at the links at the end of this video
silent spinner this is a 10 inch exercise wheel this wheel will not fit in any habitat
except for the double Height habitat that I have but it will fit into this
and it's a silent spinner remember your hamsters are gonna be active at night
they're gonna be spinning if this is in your room you want something quiet look
how small that looks in the corner of this super habitat there's a lot of
space in this thing and there's even more space above the wheel so you can of
course mount it up on something to get it off and away from some of the bedding
so that it spins unimpeded this is gonna be a great habitat for those of you who
have been looking for something big or you like bin cages I think this is a
good compromise between the two as the features of a critter trail but it is
about the size of some of the bin cages that people like so much except that
this has lots of ventilation because of the wire bars I hope you enjoyed looking
at this assembly video kaytee is doing a great job I think of coming up with
larger habitats to meet the demands of those who want something bigger for
their pets thanks for watching
