You should not use plastic items in your cage because if they chew it and some goes down in the stomach they could die or it just be very unhealthy. Just think logic - Plastic is made by oil.
The gerbils will chew through plastic and this can make them very ill. If your gerbil is seen chewing it's plastic toys/tubes, remove it immediently and buy them a woodblock instead.
@mars8254 gerbils can have regular cages, just make sure they are the half inch spaced bars and it has to be ALL metal. no plastic, as they will chew their way out. but youll have shavings kicked all over the house and it wont be able to have deep enough bedding for them to play in. Aquariums they cant chew their way out and you can give them a good 2-3+ inches to burrow in and make tunnels. they pretty much will spend their time running on a wheel or digging and playing.
In response to people talking about wheels, from what I've heard it's pretty much imperative that you have one because it allows them to exercise as much as they need (which for my girls is ALL night lol) You can put electrical tape on any wheel with holes to make it safe - and in regard to hyperflexing their spines, that's more of a concern in exercise balls. You should make sure that any wheel you get is large enough that they can run comfortably without back problems
I´m rather confused about this, should gerbils have exercis wheels or not?? some say that they can train the wrong muscles and stuff if they do :S (and I know that those metal ones with "holes" are not good) but if you get a big wheel I think it should be ok..but I don´t know ;/
They so cuttte. :) I'm getting a female gerbil (Just 'cause the male ones always sleep and look lazy xP) from my Science teacher in a couple months or so, do you have any kind of tips? Like, do you think she'd be lonely or be okay without another gerbil around?
@lovepuppy513 adult gerbils are very territorial and often females moreso than males. you may think a friend would be good but often it only causes stress and poor health. if they already have a cagemate they are fine but new gerbils added to an adult community can be trouble. youd feel horrible if a new gerb got killed.
@Willow771 Oh okay. I wouldn't think she would get stressed if there were another around, because in that cage there is about five or six and they're all females (Just to keep from them reproducing) They we're all just taking turns running on the wheel, lol.
@lovepuppy513 i would see if you can take 2 instead of just one if she has several :) its the introduction of a NEW gerbil that can be stressful. (ie. attacks, bullying, asserting dominance)
@Willow771 Well the thing is, (I should've mentioned this before) that my mom will only let me get one. And I didn't want to nag my mom about getting just one. If I spent enough time with her, gave her enough toys, etc. do you think she'd be okay, anyway?
@Willow771 Well that's good. But I actually posted a thing on "Yahoo! Answers" about it, and I got several comments about if she would be okay or not by herself. So, I told my mom about all the things that could happen to her if she was by herself, and she said I can get two. I'm going to ask my teacher about some stuff. But yeah , it's just even better. And my mom also said she contacted a lady who had gerbil cages. It was an aquarium one like yours in the video.Do you think this would be good?
@Nemurin depends on the type of wheel. there are wheels that are safe for long tailed rodents. the same concern goes for rats. in canada i know you can find wheels that have no holes and are more like a solid bowl with the mount on the outside away from where the rodents run. most pet stores have tail safe options nowadays
Long life = Aspen bedding. it may look expensive but considering it akes alot longer to spoil with gerbals (they dont pee much) its actually cheaper in the long run than pine bedding for other rodents. They also need lots of stuff to chew on...paper towel rolls, wood or plastic. keeps their teeth short. and a good variety of seed mix for their food with extra munchies. Try and keep it low in fats. (aka not an excessive amount of sunflower seeds) as gerbs are prone to obesity :)
@MegaMisterfx either can get along fairly well as long as they are from the same litter and same sex, otherwise they can fight and one can kill the other. sometimes you can get lucky but its usually unlikely. shredded paper works great as nesting or digging material but it wont absorb the smell like propper bedding and you would have to change it frequently. as for the plastic cage/tub....they have very sharp teeth and would chew right through it. metal bars or an aquarium would be best
@girlofdoom79 should be ok. keep an eye on how often you have to clean it with that many. they can suffer from respiratory distress if there is too much ammonia (pee) in the tank. id just stay on the lookout for something bigger so eventually they can have something big enough to burrow in comfortably
@girlofdoom79 if u dont wanna spend the money one a tanks just get a huge container at walmart for $5 i have one with 3 gerbils and they LOVE it!! go on izzyrocks12 channel and watch how to care 4 ur gerbil! thts wat got me to get the cage! hope i helped!(:
i really want 2 gerbils, and is that a 10 gallon tank with 2 gerbils in it!! cuz i have a 10 gallon tank and a 20 gallon tank but my rat is living in the 20 gallon tank!! do you think a 10 galon tank for 2 gerbils is good to just start out with for them!! or do you think it would be too small
I would recommend the 20 for gerbils. that one is a 15...a mite too small. they dont produce much urine which is why they are fine in a tank. rats on the other hand need to be in a cage with bars because they can die from the lack of air circulation in a tank, even if you have wire mesh on top. so why not get your hands on an older bird cage if you cant afford a new cage, and alter it for your rattlies :)
@petzhorseclub if u dont want to spend the money one getting a 20 gallon tank gerbils do just as well in a container that about $5!! go to this girls channel izzyrocks12 and watch how to care 4 ur gerbils!! hope that helped!!

Really nice playpen. I'm surprised the plastic toys are still intact. My gerbils chewed up their nice plastic (and supposedly unbreakable) igloo within 2 days. They chew up anything plastic.
my 2 gerbils always destroy there plastic running wheel completly in 2 or 3 months ; )
they destroy it but they don't eat it and when they are knibbleing they can not swallow.. also the gerbils are smart enough to know what to eat and what not to eat
i have a book about taking care of gerbils. you can ask me for tips too(i have had 4 happy gerbils, 3 of which are still alive) or go to pet supplies plus and look for them there
i fill my gerby cage 3/4 full with sawdust! they make a huge mess and burry all their toys! but it is nice seeing the cool tunnels! G GE GER GERB GERBI GERBIL GERBILS GERBILS R GERBILS RU GERBILS RUL GERBILS RULE GERBILS RULE! Copy and paste if you agree
omg so cute. thnx for making this vid i had no idea wat other toys to get my gerbils lol the ball with the bell is so kool im gonna get one for my sweeties
*sigh* I live in Puerto Rico, so far i've never ever seen a gerbil in the petshops over here.. I wanted (and still want) a gerbil so bad! plus the lady at a petstore said that they were really bad pets because they chewed on everything including their home. is that true? should i keep looking?
they do chew everything they can get their hands on, but they can't damage thick porcelain, glass or metal. so if you put them in an aquarium, there is no problem. they are wonderful pets, they love playing with you and they are easy to take care of.
gerbils need lots of wooden thigns to chew on and cardboard.. not so much plastic toys. They need a few tunnels and little hidey holes and stuff. Google gerbil care x
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
gerbils are pretty cute but... they kick ass too! if you do gerbil gladiators like i did then you'll see why they kick ass. they never lose to hamsters or anything and they make sure their opponent is fuckin dead too. so all you rat lovers or hamster lovers... if you think your pet kicks ass, put a gerbil in your animal's cage and watch what happens ^^
no crittertrail 2 cage isnt good get habitrail ovo suite cuz even though it might be more expensive its a poop outpost carrying case den and home all in one. the travel case is on the top and can be connected with the tubes and if you want to bring your gerbil along you detach the case
i am planningto have 2 Gerbils wouldn't it be small
and i r planning to buy the CritterTrail 2 the CritterTrail expansion pack (Tubes) and the CritterTrail 1 mini as a addon home and carry thingy and it will all only cost about 60 bucks. and plenty of space
None of those plastic tube houses are good at all. Get a 10 or 15-gallon aquarium for 2 gerbils. Gerbils will chew out of anything that is plastic. Also, use carefresh, aspen, or corncob bedding - do NOT use pine or cedar because it will make the gerbils sick. I know - I have had a lot of experience with gerbils.
Yeah I U"Se Aspen And Some Of That Colored "Fuzz" Stuff As Bedding. I Have A plastic Tube House For My Gerbils Playtime And After That I Put Him Back In His "gerbil-quarium" awqs i call it
nope its that boys are less ogressive and they are better when they are related but if you did match to male girbles from a diffrerent family i still dont think they would fight but god my gerbils are so afraid all the time
Tenshi1 is right, they might chew on the plastic and when they digest it it's toxic! So you might use wooden toys instead. Also, more woodshavings (about 25 cm high) is a VERY good idea! They love digging and will make burrows and nests (you can offer them hay, straw or toilet-paper for the nests ^^)! Will keep them busy and happy ;) I see you love your pets, so take no offence, it's just an advice. Greetings from me and my 3 gerbil-boys Yuki, Chin and Kuroi!
Gerbils are diggers, you might want to put some more woodshavings in their aquarium. :) Oh and lose the plastic toys, if they chew on it and swallow some they could die like said before.
You should not use plastic items in your cage because if they chew it and some goes down in the stomach they could die or it just be very unhealthy. Just think logic - Plastic is made by oil.

Actually I would not recommend a wheel for gerbils, since the end part of their tail can break off (defense mechanism in the wild) when tugged on.
It's not deadly, but I assume you want a gerbil with a pretty little tuft on their tail, and they don't grow back. ;)

None of those plastic tube houses are good at all. Get a 10 or 15-gallon aquarium for 2 gerbils. Gerbils will chew out of anything that is plastic. Also, use carefresh, aspen, or corncob bedding - do NOT use pine or cedar because it will make the gerbils sick. I know - I have had a lot of experience with gerbils.

Our gerbil does not have a tail. Should it?
vonniewit 3 years ago
all gerbils should have a tail. The tail is sensitive so it might have fallen off, or its not a real gerbil and you are mistaken.

nope its that boys are less ogressive and they are better when they are related but if you did match to male girbles from a diffrerent family i still dont think they would fight but god my gerbils are so afraid all the time

i have to baby boy girbles and there great though i heard that females were more oggresive than males, is that true?
Pincer11 3 years ago
no ita the opposite most makeles are more agresive than females
becouse femals are more relaxed

Thats not True. Gerbil Females Will Fight ALOT more Than Males.
Also, if you introduce a male to another male that are not related, you will have a better result.
If you get a female, and introuduce it to another, the chance of them scrapping and biteing each other will be more. =)

Tenshi1 is right, they might chew on the plastic and when they digest it it's toxic! So you might use wooden toys instead. Also, more woodshavings (about 25 cm high) is a VERY good idea! They love digging and will make burrows and nests (you can offer them hay, straw or toilet-paper for the nests ^^)! Will keep them busy and happy ;) I see you love your pets, so take no offence, it's just an advice. Greetings from me and my 3 gerbil-boys Yuki, Chin and Kuroi!

most gerbil tubes arnt toxic, they are made for them gerbils
theyarewatchingu 3 years ago
Gerbils are diggers, you might want to put some more woodshavings in their aquarium. :) Oh and lose the plastic toys, if they chew on it and swallow some they could die like said before.

remixedvids 4 years ago
i would say not to get a male they might fight and think there is a female i would recommend getting a female just keep and eye on them.
