A cage that is for hamsters or gerbils. Something that has more than one level is ideal, to keep them entertained, but nothing too extravagant. Rotastak cages are generally good for gerbils but can come with an excessive amount of tubes/tunnels etc. gerbils just won't use that kind of thing.
You could use a plain one story aquarium as well, your gerbil would need some other things to keep it entertained as well though.
I recommend a pair of smallish aquariums as gerbils love to dig in the bedding and will push it onto the floor in a wire cage. i usally put 4 inchs of bedding on the floor as well as tissue boxs and toilet paper tubes. i wouldn't put anything in the cage that's not ceramic or metal unless you don't mind them chewing on it.
the most important part of a gerbils cage is, another gerbil :3

∙ 12y agoGerbils are desert animals, but you can keep them in an ordinary rodent cage. As long as you provide food, water, and things to chew, your gerbil(s) will be happy.
Make sure they get exercise! They need it or else they get fat.
Also make sure they have gerbil food. If you need to, get rodent food.
For treats, i would suggest you look up good fruits and veggies because some can harm your pets.
PS: as for any pet, NO CHOCOLATE.
