the gerbil escape committee

We bought a gerbil pen to stop them escaping. They immediately formed an escape committee and this is what happened.

@xSassySkullzx I wish I knew! Our gerbils are always escaping. (Well, maybe once a month). The only solution seems to be to keep them in a room where the cats can't get in, and cover the gap at the bottom of the door. And of course to play with them enough so they don't run away when you try to catch them. But they do love their freedom!

teehee their sooooooo cute! I think you should try and get some more colored gerbil i have four ones peach (Squirt) one is peach and white (Nibbles) ones all grey (Storm) and ones sandy colored (Sandy) I also have an albino mouse named MW lol

We'd love to get more gerbils, but I don't think the current gerbils would like it. This way, with just 4, they get more attention :)I've never had a mouse, I bet they're interesting!

Cute!!!

I have 2 gerbils, but they can't escape because they live in an aquarium (no water of course!)

Aquariums are definitely better. We used to only have Rotastak, but we just got an old aquarium and the gerbils prefer it - they can make their own tunnels!

I used the same type of play area. Make the corners a lot less noticable. It's easier for them to climb when the walls are closer.

I have this multi level wire cage that's perfect for not letting escapes. The problem is the bedding get's scattered outside the cage.

I like this video - its a shame they had to be split up :-(
