Gerbils do cost alot as they cannot be placed in any old cage; they need a gerbilarium. These special cages are very costly, they are made of glass so that the gerbils cannot chew through and escape. They need lots of sawdust to cover the floor as they dig; its part of their nature. They can eat alot. They need a partner to live with; they can become very unhappy if left to live on their own and can die of lonelyness. They need lots of hay to build their nests with. Their toys cost more as they are made to be non chewable. But they are very clean animals and hardlyurinate or excrete, which mean they only need to be cleaned every two weeks. Some only need to be cleaned every month!
