This review is from: Super Pet CritterTrail Lazy Look-Out Accessory Kit 1 (Misc.)
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.

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.

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.

Not good for larger hamsters!,

Some suggestions for a stable setup,
