{"product_id":"zoo-med-excavator-box-cavern-kit","title":"Zoo Med Excavator Box Cavern Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eExcavator clay supplied with the formers you need to actually build with it. The balloons and tunnel tube go in as moulds, you pack clay around them and let it dry, then remove them — leaving proper caves and tunnels rather than the shallow scrapes you get shaping clay by hand. Includes 5.4kg of clay, so it is a starter kit for a modest enclosure rather than a full substrate load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5.4kg Excavator clay substrate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18cm tunnel tube\u003c\/strong\u003e — forms a through-tunnel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo 13cm round balloons and two 23cm round balloons\u003c\/strong\u003e — form caverns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBalloon attachment assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e25cm shovel\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003emixing bag\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull installation booklet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMix the clay wet, pack it around the inflated formers, and let it dry completely before deflating and removing them.
