  • Scuttles McGoo Approved!!!
Size: Large 1
Scuttles McGoo absolutely loves her new digs. It makes the perfect hideout for our crayfish and looks so pretty. The packaging was super secure and it arrived in perfect condition. We didn’t have any issues with rough edges which I was concerned about after reading some of the reviews.

  • This has ruined my turtles.... in a good way
Size: Large 1
I have 2 xlarge caves and both have been great. I use one for my box turtles and one for a crested gecko. I also had a smaller one for my box turtles when i first got them. I dropped it trying to clean the enclouse and it broke. I dropped it from a good height onto a concrete floor. Nothing breakable has ever survived a fall to this floor. After it broke my box turtles got mad and stayed mad for 2 months until I got the xl one. My box turtles are about 3 years Old are finally out growing the xl cave at about 4 inches, but they have loved it. Since I bought it they've lived under it full time. It's home cave out of three hiding spots. The other I bought for my red eared slider. He ended up being too big at 4 inches for it. But my crested gecko fits it perfect. She's still small but it'll be the perfect thing for her to grow with and she will be able to keep it as an adult. The pics of my gecko are of her hospital tank when I brought her home. It's a 10 gallon. This is a good hide. It's sturdy and not too heavy and is a decent size for smaller reptiles. I did inspect both when i got them. Since i saw about the edges being sharp i was worried. The edges on both didnt seem bad. My only problem now is needing a bigger one for some very spoiled turtles. ... show more

  • Smaller than it looks
Size: Medium
I got this for my bearded dragon. It's a good item and does it's job, but it's definitely on the small side. My beardie is a baby, so this fits him perfectly for now. Outside of size, the other issues is a technicality: I have a 4x2x2 enclosure, so this isn't tall enough to maximize an ideal basking temp. Outside of that, it's great because little buddy uses it daily. ... show more

  • It’s ok.
Size: Large 1
Would’ve given 5stars but mine came broken. I guess I can glue it together I don’t feel like going through the hassle of sending it back and waiting ugh… shipping was fast though. Just rather them had taken their time so it came all in one piece.

  • My frogs love it, and I have no complaints.
Size: Medium
My African clawed frogs love this, one of them is always peeking out of his little cave. I've had this for several months, and have had no issues with injuries or paint peeling or anything like that. It's a decent size (my frogs are not fully grown yet), easy to clean, and hard to break.

  • Dangerous, sharp edges
Size: Medium
This aquarium rock looks great—3 openings for places to hide—but the inside of the structure has lots of sharp edges and raised points to the mold making it not functional for its intended purpose. It’s not safe for any creature to inhabit. Wanted to love it but have to send it back.

  • Fun Habitat
Size: L
Purchased for our Syrian Hamster who we lost before she had a chance to enjoy this. But! We have found it is an extremely thought out design that would be awesome for any reptile, lizard, or small animal. This is quite large so please check the measurements before purchasing or you could be caught off guard. ... show more
