well...a two to three foot cage is recommended for one gerbil and if you two most likely a three foot cage or a four foot cage would be best
to make sure you don't spend to much money ...make sure you have two of the same kind of gerbil..boy and boy ...girl and girl because when gerbils have babies they have alot and then you need a bigger cage or multiple cages. =P

∙ 11y agoI would STRONGLY reccomend using a 10 gallon tank, making sure you have a wired top. It has good ventilation and are very easy to clean. Make sure you get a good wheel, a hanging water bottle, multiple tubes ( can be toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, NO PLASTIC tubes. can be terminal if ingested) and you will need some chews. You can buy ones at the pet store, making sure they have to dyes, or you can get them from you back yard, I give mine Maple twigs.

How big does your cage have to be for three gerbils to live in?
not very big because i have 2 gerbils and my cage is small
Will 2 male and 2 female gerbils in the same cage fight?
Yes they will. Hamsters and gerbils are solitary creatures and they wil fight if they feel that someone else is in their territory.
What is better 2 gerbils in the same cage or 1?
They are social creatures and prefer the company of another gerbil.
I bought what i thought were 2 female gerbils but now they have started mating what should i do?
The same thing happened to me, I bought 2 female gerbils from the pet store and then found babies in the cage one morning. Check online pictures of male and female gerbil genitalia so you can determine which one is the male. You need to put the male in a separate cage or they will keep mating and making more babies. Gerbils mate again right after the babies are born, so you might end up with another litter even after you separate them. Keep them separate unless you want to breed them, or you will end up with a ton of gerbils! Here's a link to find pics of the gerbils genitalia: http://www.gerbils.co.uk/gerbils/gender.htm
Should you get a small cage for your guinea pig or a big cage?
If i were you i would get a big cage so the guinea pig can run around Good luck with your piggie I have a big cage that holds 2 guinea pigs and they chase each other around the whole cage!!!
How can you tell if gerbils are being mean to each other?
If there's any biting or wounds then they need to be separated. Gerbils play fight by doing a high-five type motion with their front paws while up on their hind legs. They also roll around and pin each other down sometimes. The only way to ensure that your gerbils are suitable roommates is to make sure they are siblings. Only a reputable breeder can guarantee that. If you are introducing 2 gerbils for the first time you need to do a split cage method to let them get used to each other.
I have 2 gerbils and im going on a vacation for 3 or more days what should I do with them?
Find a friend or a neighbor to take care of them. Before you leave, clean their cage. Also, leave directions on what and how much to feed the gerbils. (I've been in this situation before)
What do you need to breed gerbils?

How big of cage does a chinchilla need?
Always try to get the largest cage possible for your Chinchilla and remember they need space to move around in. Chinchillas love to climb and jump, so it is better to have a cage that is higher than it is wide and you can put up kiln dried wood shevles. The minimum size cage to get would be around 3 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet.

How big of a cage does 2 guinea pigs and a dwarf rabbit need?
2 guinea pigs = 2x5 c&c cage which is 30" by 62" a dwarf rabbit= 2x4 which is 30" by 50" so in total you should just make a 2x10 c&c cage feeding time may be difficult because they need different food. -kiley
What are the messurements of a big guinea pig's cage?
A cage should be big enough for the pet to stand up in. It should be long enough for the pet to turn around in. The normal size for a guinea pig is a cage that is 2 feet by 2 feet and a foot tall.
