Critter Nation Scatter Guards

Keep bedding where it belongs with these easy-to-install scatter guards designed specifically for the Critter Nation cage. These guards snap securely onto the plastic trays to create a taller barrier that helps prevent rats from kicking bedding all over the floor while still allowing easy access to your pets. The guards hook under the bottom edge of the tray and snap over the rounded lip to create a secure, tool-free attachment.

Although the snap feature contains a small overhang, minor drooping during printing did not affect installation during testing. Enable support if you do not want to risk it.  When installing, avoid bending the snap feature more than necessary. Excessive force may cause the clip to break. PETG is recommended for the best balance of flexibility and durability. If you’re tired of sweeping up bedding every day, these guards provide a clean, simple solution while preserving the functionality of the original Critter Nation trays.
