Kritter Keeper, X-Large Rectangle w/Lid(Assorted colors)

I bought this tank for my goldfish. I will not recommend getting anything less than this size for a fish aquarium. This tank is a 6 gallon tank, and I only have 1 fish in it. I am able to fit in my small filter, 1 ornament and 2 plants and also my air pump tubes. It's great, my fish loves it. I think this is my final upgrade for my fish's home. I tried literally all sizes of the Lee's Kritters except for the mini size. They are all excellent quality and very reasonably priced. I am a college student so it's not realistic for me to have a glass tank in my dorm room. Also I do not want my tank to be super fragile as I will have to take it home over long breaks. This tank is great because it is ventilated at the top, it also has food holders so I put my two cans of fish food on the top and it doesn't slide off. I personally think this is a much better tank than its more expensive alternates, if you are looking to house 1 or 2 small fish or guppies/bettas, definitely get it. It also DOES not look cheap, so it has a nice presentation. Most important thing of all is the air holes on the hood, this is very vital to the health of your fish in promoting good aeration, especially if you do not have an air pump. Ventilated hoods are not common in the more expensive glass tanks with the black hoods. Thank you Lee's Kritter!!

We use kritter keepers of various sizes in our menagerie for very young New Caledonian geckos, or as temporary housing for quarantine or cleaning. This particular size (x-large) I purchased for a 14 gram Crestie so I don't have to lug its Exo Terra to our gecko-sitter while we're on vacation. With some cork bark, fake plants, and an adjustable bamboo branch it should be very comfy in here for a few days! They aren't the most durable, but they're lightweight and inexpensive and seem to both hold humidity well and provide good ventilation. The clear plastic also makes for great viewing, but could make a tiny lizard nervous so we will cover three sides in paper to provide more security. I would not keep an adult in here for more than the time it takes to clean its normal tank though - a larger plastic storage tub would be more appropriate. And I don't think this would work at all for a reptile that needs supplemental heating and lighting.

I bought two of these Kritter Keepers to house my science class pets. We have 4 hermit crabs. Each crabitat has two crabs living inside of it, and I am pleased with the size of the Keepers. The depth is enough that my crabs have 3-4 inches of substrate to dig, as well as lot of room for a climbing wall. They seem to be pleased with their new home. The cage itself is a sturdy material that seems durable. I'm quite pleased with this purchase. My students will be taking the crabs home, and so it was important for it to be sturdy without being bulky.

I purchased the extra-large Kritter Keeper for two house mice I caught. Previously, I had a Petco Pet Keeper - Large, which I actually felt was too small for the critters. I did a little research and discovered that they were attempting to nibble their way free by chewing on the top. Mice are gnawers, and wild or house mice will do whatever they can to escape. So, I purchased a 5' roll of 1/4-Inch Mesh Hardware Cloth (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004RA2L) that can be used to keep out mice and rats from an area. I cut strips (using a wire cutter - and it's not easy) to fit all four sides of the top and used 22 gauge wire that I twisted with pliers to hold it in place. Glue was recommended, but I was afraid of the fumes, so I attached the fencing strips with strong wire instead. So far, so good. So, when I received my new Kritter Keeper, I put the wire on before I put the mice in. Now they have an Alfie Lifestyle small animal playground Kami wooden hideout (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009EK8QMG) that I kept closed and they converted it into their home, a Superpet small animal nut knot nibbler chew toy (http://www.amazon.com/Super-Pet-Small-Animal-Nibbler/dp/B0002DJEYI) that I stick a few peanuts still in their shells into for them to climb and pull free and an Alfie small animal playground wooden swing (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008XPG9WW) that they like to climb over around and under. Their water is currently in a low bowl I cut from the bottom of a water bottle, but I have purchased a water bottle for them since I intend to travel and hubby believes they should be exterminated not kept as pets, so he won't give them fresh water or food, and they have a bowl for food and one for treats. I occasionally add a third bowl for fresh or cooked veggies. All the items, except for their food bowls, are chewable, and they have other chew toys to help keep their ever-growing front teeth trimmed. They still look for ways to get out, but not as frequently or as consistently as they did when I first put them in their new home. I'd give the Kritter Keeper 5 stars, but it's not suitable without a strong wire mesh around the top. At least not for wild mice. They will chew their way through the plastic.

1st one was cracked but they sent me a replacement!

So far this is perfect for our Monarch cats. We have 10 large cats inside with several branches of milkweed. It is easy to see inside and see when it needs to be cleaned. The square entry hole lid is very difficult to open, we have four cats ready to make their chrysalises, don't want to disturb them so we lightly taped it shut. It is big enough for an adult's hand to fit inside with no problem, so that is good. Like other reviewers have said, the lid snaps on very tightly, don't know how we would get it off without disturbing the chrysalises, but at least we know they can't escape!

it's a box for pets and it works well....seems built well and is holding up great...only complaint is it is difficult to open the top latch or take the top off for cleaning etc. other than that it's perfect

MI TARÁNTULA ESTA VIVIENDO MARAVILLOSAMENTE EN SU NUEVO HOGAR, LA TAPADERA ES DIFÍCIL DE QUITAR PERO EN MI CASO CON TARÁNTULAS NO ES NECESARIO ABRIR EL TERRARIO MUY SEGUIDO ASÍ QUE BIEN.

Perfect fit for my adult tarantulas. Had one broken sent it back and had a replacement sent out very fast. Will deff order again

Alright. Came scratched up and the lid was and still is warped.
