What else can I help you with?
I have about 5 Crittertrail hamster cages from my late hamster Is it okay to use them for 2 gerbils And how much do gerbils cost?
No, don't use crittertrail cages with gerbils. Unlike hamsters, gerbils are chewing machines. They can ingest the plastic which can kill them, and by chewing the plastic they can escape. I would use a 10 gallon tank instead. Gerbils cost around $10 each from a pet shop.
Your gerbil kicks his sawdust out of his cage why is ts this?

What do gay men do with gerbils?
Gay men with pet gerbils usually put them in a habitat made of glass or metal. A common misunderstanding when purchasing a home for pet gerbils is they can live in housing designed for hamsters and mice. This is not correct, as they need to be able to dig tunnel systems, rather than have them created for them. The commonly plastic structure of hamster and mouse cages is inappropriate for gerbils due to their ability to gnaw through it very quickly. Plastic can cause serious health issues for the animal if ingested, therefore many owners refrain from having any plastic in the tank and rely entirely on wooden toys.
