Zoo Med Cavern Kit with Excavator

 

The Zoo Med Cavern Kit with Excavator is a product designed for creating naturalistic and customizable habitats for reptiles and other small animals. The kit includes various components to help you construct realistic tunnels, caverns, and shelters using Excavator Clay Substrate. This type of habitat setup mimics the animals’ natural environment and provides them with opportunities for exploration and hiding.

 

Here’s what’s included in the kit:

Excavator Clay Substrate (12 lbs): This is the primary material used to create the tunnels and structures. It’s a clay-based substrate that can be shaped and molded to form various structures.

Tunnel Tubes (7): These are likely plastic tubes that you can incorporate into the substrate to create tunnel systems. Animals can use these tubes to move around and hide.

Round Balloons (5 of size 2, 2 of size 9): These balloons are used as molds to shape the substrate. You’ll inflate the balloons, cover them with the clay substrate, and let the clay dry and harden. Once the clay is dry, you can pop the balloons and remove them, leaving behind hollow spaces that resemble natural caverns.

Balloon Attachment Assembly: This could be a set of clips or other attachments to secure the balloons while you apply the clay.

Shovel (10): This is likely a small tool that helps you scoop and manipulate the clay substrate.

Excavator Mixing Bag: This bag is probably used to mix and prepare the clay substrate before shaping it into structures.

Full Installation Booklet: This booklet provides instructions and guidelines for using the kit to create the desired habitat.

 

The purpose of the kit is to allow reptiles and amphibian keepers to design intricate and naturalistic environments for their pets. By creating tunnels, caverns, and hiding spots, the animals can engage in more natural behaviors and feel more secure in their enclosure. The clay substrate, once dried, creates a stable and safe structure for animals to explore.

 

Keep in mind that the success of creating these structures depends on your ability to work with the clay substrate and shape it effectively. It’s important to follow the provided instructions to ensure the safety and well-being of the animals you’re caring for. Also, make sure the animals you plan to house in the enclosure are appropriate for this type of habitat and that their specific care requirements are met.
