How to set up cage for Gerbils

Choose the right Cage

Spacious digs: Gerbils are social and love to explore. A minimum cage size of 10 gallons per gerbil is recommended, with even larger being better. Consider multi-level cages to maximize space.

Level up the fun

Climbing challenges: Gerbils are natural climbers. Provide ramps, tunnels, or ledges to create a multi-level playground. Cardboard boxes and paper towel rolls can also be incorporated for climbing and hiding spots.

Something to Chew upon

Essential Exercise:

Wheel Power: Offer a solid exercise wheel for your gerbils to burn off energy. Avoid mesh wheels that can cause injuries to their tiny feet.

Food and Hydration Stations:

Designated dining: Place a gerbil-appropriate water bottle and food dish in a convenient location. Choose a heavy ceramic dish for food to prevent tipping

Essential grooming

Adding a dust bath for your gerbils to keep their fur clean and healthy (You should use chinchilla dust, not regular bath sand).
