If you ask everyone I know, they would say Carefresh. I would too! Carefresh is a popular brand, that is sold at Pet Supply Stores, and even Walmart! I would recommend the Carefresh Natural.

It is a very absorbent, odorless formula from recycled pulp and paper. The gerbils love it! Give them lots of cardboard to chew on for their shreddings to mix with the bedding, to make the ultimate blend!

NEVER use other types of bedding with either cedar or pine inside of it, which causes the gerbils to have sinus infections from excess dust, and it will eventually lead them to death!

Gerbils will happily live in small homes found in a pet shop. They like to have soft hay inside for comfort. You can scatter cardboard around the cage so your gerbils can keep active and fit collecting cardboard to nest their home.

Gerbils are a lot like cats. They are nappers. They sleep whenever they feel like it, eat whenever they feel like it, etc. My gerbils are sleeping right now and it's 4:00 in the afternoon!

If by this question you mean to say: What do gerbils like in their cage? Then I can answer this for you. Gerbils need the obvious, food, water, and bedding in their cage. Gerbils are curious creatures and they need entertainment. The best thing for a gerbil is something to chew on. The most inexpensive toy for a gerbil is a used toilet paper roll. The gerbils do not actually eat this, they chew the rolls and spit out the chewed pieces. Pet stores also sell little chewable toys that add variety to the type of toys given.
