What toys will gerbils play with?
Gerbils love anything. For a chewing treat, give them toilet/paper towel rolls. If they want something to rattle around with, and if you have a cat in the house, they can play with cat toys. Do not use metal cat toys, they will try to nibble on it and break their teeth. Plastic ones, with little bells in them would work. If your gerbils start to nibble on it, do not take it out. If they are nibbling on it all day, you should consider giving them a toilet paper tube instead, that tells you they want to chew, not play with the cat toy. Helpful Hint: The toilet paper tubes they chew up helps with odor problems in their bedding, and also makes more bedding itself for them!
