This may not be related to the video but do you know why my gerbil is scratching corners and walls? She’s starting to worry me. She is also trying to climb on top of her wheel and chewing plastic :(

Thanks for this video, I got ideas from you for building my topper for my 40 gallon tank. My son and I used poplar wood and I did use the same wire cage topper. It ended up very nice and the gerbils love it. Thanks for doing this video. I did fix the wire cage to the wooden floor differently. I just used small bungee cords to hold the wire topper to the wooden floor. It works fine. And It is easier to remove the topper in two pieces.

@TheGerbilVine
@TheGerbilVine Ай бұрын
Cages with levels aren't recommended as gerbils can fall and aren't the best with balance and they are burrowers, not really climbers. They can, but aren't built for climbing.. Do you have 11 gerbils in 1 cage?! That seems absurd to me.

For gerbils I'm sure this standard can vary by country, in Canada we don't really have set standards. From my own personal research and experience, I would do a minimum 10 inch wheel. I like the 12 best and is what I buy and use.

@Icey_FoxVB Ай бұрын
Got it! I use a 7.5" wheel and haven't had problems, but I'll make sure to be on the look out from now on if they look like they're too curved! Also, my gerbils are a bit younger, not quite Pups but not quite adults, so they're a liiiittle smaller But I don't know if that means anything 😅 Sorry about the ramble
@TheGerbilVine
@TheGerbilVine Ай бұрын
@@Icey_FoxVB age and size is definitely something to take into consideration! I like when they can run flat, with tail not too curves. To me it seems more natural. And I buy a big wheel to start so I don't have to upgrade later, which of course costs more money haha

Nobody gives their gerbils a huge play-space in the house to roam around in with a lot of stuff including a huge wheel? Then put them back in their tank to spend the night? Why leave gerbils in tanks unless you are not home?

I was si confused when you were saying that treats wete unhealthy for them bc thats what treats are? Their supposed to be fun and tasty but unhealthy. Im not saying this as just for gerbils its for humans too ice cream is unhealthy for humans but its tasty so we eat it as a treat. But looking for healthy snacks and treats is recomended and smart. So keep doing that i just wanted a clarification.

So many people saying that hamsters are worse because they aren't cuddly/bite easily..um..I get the feeling that most of these people got hamsters without actually doing proper research?? I can't imagine any person who has DONE research on hamsters, getting one thinking that they will be 'cuddle buddies' and all that..I mean..that's literally not the hamster's nature. Yes they can occasionally tolerate people picking them up and cuddling them in some way but the general rule is the opposite. Usually they will mostly let you pet them and pick then up for a few pets/roam time but that's just about it. They're not your ''cuddly'' pet. So if you get a hamster without knowing this and you end up disappointed, it's not really the hamster's fault lol. I had done a bunch of research before getting my hamster, I never went into getting it thinking that it will be a cuddle pet so I was never disappointed either. Personally right now I have a hamster but I'd like to own gerbils too, I think they're also interesting in different ways.
