(press release) CHILTON, WI – Kaytee announces the launch of more than 20 new offerings to its industry-leading portfolio of small animal pet products in the U.S. The expansion is highlighted by the introduction of the Kaytee CritterTrailSUPER Habitat, the first habitat of its kind in the U.S. designed specifically for larger breeds of small animal pets such as Syrian hamsters. Other additions include odor control bedding, color changing habitats and more.
“We share the enthusiasm that our loyal customers have for small animal pets, and we’re excited to introduce these new, innovative options,” said Jason Casto, director of marketing, Kaytee Small Animal. “We’re especially thrilled to launch the Kaytee CritterTrail SUPER Habitat, which is our first stand-alone CritterTrail habitat that exceeds the recommended minimum living space for Syrian hamsters. The design of CritterTrail still allows multiple habitats and accessories to be attached to build a connected habitat system of any size.
