sorry but in my opinion it is just perfect habitat

I have a hamster to but now I wish I got a gerbil! They seem so exciting and east to tame..

How old were they?!

@thecasualtrollingpuma lmao thx

Hi there, Thank you for your comment! It is nice to hear that the channel has been helpful to you :) In general, I find that small animals will love the natural & free items as much as those from the pet store. For instance, wood pieces, branches, hanging ropes, plant pots, rocks, pipes etc seem to be very popular. I used low dust horse bedding (which comes in bales) mixed with hay to help hold the structure of their burrows. I believe the wooden structure is from the brand Trixie if I remember correctly. Hope that helps :)

Same

Thank you so much! Great that the video helped in some way

Me too

Mine live in a Detolf too!

@Forrest Mcgee ikea detolf's are cabinets originally built and designed for displaying items in your house, like a tall and long glass cabinet. Rodent owners got the idea to flip it on it's side without one side of glass, as a very long but somewhat narrow enclosure for their animals to live in. It doesn't come with a lid of course, so you can DIY it. (usually mesh lids are used)

I always say "As long as they're having fun!"

Yess will do! :)

childrens play sand or chinchilla sand

Good luck with your new pets! They make wonderful pets 😊 and I know that you will be a great gerbil owner! 👍😎😊

A little bit to sand is alright, but please take out the sand bath if they carry on too much. It may give them stomach pains. x

@@coyoteteethh1943 thx

Nederlandse Politiek I have 3 male gerbils and they get along well together. I have read that female gerbils tend to fight more than males.

Of course :) but it may get a little pricey - you can mix it with hay to hold the tunnels better :)

Erin's Ark Okay, Thanks a lot ;) The price doesn’t really matter to me as long as the animals gets the best life possible.

They are sold online on the rodipet website and are very expensive ( over £100 ) xx

@@chlomaryy that's not very expensive for a gerbil tank, :)

you could try the ikea detolf it's $60

both dishes a water botttles are fine. dishes need to be changed every day. they give the gerbil a more natural way to drink water. if a little bit of water splashes on them they will be completely fine. it is very rare for them to actually become fully submerged in water.

@Cat Evens thanks Do you have gerbils?

@Cat Evens cool How many

Then don't get some

@TheCluelessBell a 55 gallon can easily be 200 dollars

@thecasualtrollingpuma Yes, I have a fifteen gallon tank for two, and most of they're toys are sticks, cardboard and wooden arches and tunnels. I make most of this myself, and they love they're home. I agree with you, thecasualtrollingpuma

i think about 28cm :) yes the large one is suitable for a Syrian ham

Erin's Ark thank you:)

probably not because gerbils can chew through plastic super fast. a 40 gallon breeder tank would probably be good.

Animals Furever Ok thanks

Even if I dont add any mesh along the sides?

Hello! I have two gerbils and they are such a joy! Definitely get more than one gerbil, they are very social animals. also, make sure they have a cage that allows them to burrow because they love burrowing. They chew a lot so it’s a good idea to get them plenty of chew toys. They should also have a wheel in their cage and a sand bath once a week. I hope this helped! They are pretty low maintenance but still require a lot of care and love :)

Yup
