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: My grandson is already hunting for a frog to keep in his critter house in his room. - What can I say? Little boys love "critters" so when this critter house arrived prior to Easter and warm days, he was very excited. He is looking forward to summer and finding a frog or tortoise or anole to keep in his critter house. As a field biologist by profession, what an ingenious design. I could see two dozen of these in an elementary or preschool classroom housing local insects and reptiles' for kids to observe and care for. The light bulb feature is a plus so you can keep reptiles and insects warm. I love that this is water proof so you could catch tadpoles and watch them develop. Endless opportunities for learning with this toy. Your junior naturalist needs this for their room.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice gift but...
*by N***E on May 24, 2020*

This item came a lot smaller than my daughter was expecting. It is well made with a magnifying circle on top to look up close at the inside of your creature barn and a separate circle shaped removable lid to place food inside. There is also a cool light feature that can be switched on and off and a handle bar to carry your barn around. It is very small but the right size for small kids to manage and carry. The only thing I really don't like is that there isn't a lockable lid. The lid comes off too easy. For this reason, and that reason alone, This is not the perfect gift. I would not buy another one for my nephew or anyone else because of this reason alone. We are currently using this to hold praying mantis egg cases. Once they hatch we will place them outside. A frog can easily remove the lid.
