 Some suggestions for a stable setupNov 13, 2009
By Noname
I actually bought this because I wanted to remove the water bottle from the CritterTrail Three but didn't have anything to close the hole. Might as well buy an expansion kit, since no closures were sold at the pet store. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the plastic. My CritterTrail Three is made of cheap brittle plastic. This plastic is much more durable. It's attractive, was easy to put together and the hamsters seem to enjoy it.
One issue I want to address, since so many people have given negative ratings for this issue, is the stability factor. The middle tube has an up side and a down side. The down side slides into the cage from above. The up side keeps the tube from sliding all the way in and provides stability for the structure to keep if from falling over. If it is put together incorrectly, it will be unstable.
Also, this type of expansion kit would not work well coming out the side of a cage. It was designed to drop down from the ceiling. If you don't have anymore open options on the top of your cage, don't buy this kit.
I have Winter White hamsters and they both seem to like exploring their new lookout. Actually, the sides are high, opaque and the dome does not allow them to look anywhere but up. It's more of a look-in . . . as in we look in.

Great expansion kit!Apr 27, 2009
By T Cunningham

This is a great expansion for any cage! It does not come with instructions but if you look at one of the pieces it has extra plastic rings in the middle of it, put this in the hole you are adding the expansion on too, take the J shaped piece and from inside the cage with a O ring on it, snap them together (WARNING) it will be hard to get them back apart without taking the top of the cage off and alittle work. But the top of the lookout comes off and allows you to have even easier access to play with your pet. As bad as a pun as it is, I really wanted to say play with your little critters, LOL. Oh and if you try to put it on the side of the cage, OFCOURSE you are going to have issues with keeping it upright. it does not really attach that way, it is mean to the top, or for adding into a more stable section of a expansion.

Perfect for HamstersAug 23, 2008
By L. Muraco
""busy mom""
My daughter's hamster began chewing on the original "look-out"( which our hamster used as a bed.) that came with the hamster cage and figured out how to release the hatch and climb out.
This has been a sure fix. There is more room for him and his bedding and the screw top design has stopped any more escape attempts. It's dirt cheap and attaches easily to Habitrail cages. Since we already had the tubes with our cage, we've just used the ones that came with this kit to attach the outhouse we purchased.
I should mention that we have one of the Habitrail Z cages. It is designed for holding up the " look-out" . This may explain why the previous reviewer had problems with theirs not standing by itself. Though, I could imaging that attaching a small bungee from it to the cage may solve this problem. Or, you don't have to stand it upright. Put a T-tube at the end and put it on the top of the T-tube. Then add a small bubble at the tip to prevent the hamster from escaping. Also, If you don't make sure the top is securely on, the hamster could pop the top off.

 Not good for larger hamsters!Aug 27, 2009
By Hikaru811
This product is good quality and fits in the Crittertrail cages very well. However! My hamster is a boy and a bit on the larger side and NEVER went up in the lookout tower. There's not much area in the little dome for them to sleep. Perhaps if I had a smaller hamster, he would have enjoyed it.

Snuffy loves it, but had to jerry rig for stability in my non Crittertrail cageOct 08, 2011
By tbear

I have a Carefresh Cube Cage that does not have a top hole for dropping this in. So, I needed an extra connector ring to attach this to the hole in the side of my cage. As a remedy I took out the short, middle tube and used that connector ring to attach to my cage. Other than a shorter ride to the top, it's fine. Snuffy loves the tower. She sleeps in it every day. Bedding does fall down the tube, but she seems to get past it to get out. I've never seen her get stuck because of that issue.
The problem I had with the tower is strictly because I am unable to connect it to a top hole in the cage. Mine can only come out the side hole and up the outside of the cage. Logically, because of this the tower is top heavy whenever Snuffy is in the top, and it falls over and usually causes the connector ring to the cage to come unseated and fall off. Again, this is NOT a design flaw. It's because I have a different brand cage that doesn't allow for a top hole connection. I would have returned it due to this issue, but she loves it so much that I just jerry rigged it. I used clear packing tape around the tubes and taped it to the cage so that it's secure and can't tip over(kind of like a bungy contraption). I also taped the lid because although it screws on, it's pretty loose and can twist off easily if you have a clever hammy. It looks a tad goofy with the tape, but it's added room to the cage and she really does love it. So, it stays, tape and all. Hope this helps for others looking to buy this or thinking about returning due to similar issues.
