Gerbils will CHEW and EAT anything and everything they will get their claws on! But if you're worried about them eating a plastic cage they might be in, dont worry they wont, just keep any bags or things that they might be able to get on through the bars, away from the cage or else they will chew it to pieces! :) Best of all is to get a glass bottom cage with a metal top, this enables you to see their runs if they do them on the inside, but also purely because they are the easiest to clean and dont take up too much room whilst also providing them with plenty of room, Here is a link to the cage i had and it lasted me for 5 years and never once did i have a fault with it.

yes gerbils can chew through plastic, but they only chew through plastic if they are bored and have nothing else to do, or they need something to keep their teeth down to a certain size.
