Gerbil Housing Pictures IIWe have another thread, Gerbil Housing Pictures, but that dates back to Feb 2008! So we'll start a new one! This thread is for pictures only! No comment posts.This thread is for ideal setups only! - Lots of digging room.
- No Cedar shavings should be present (most of you I would think wouldn't use this!).
- No cages, no crittertrails/tube cages, etc.
- No plastic. Enclosures should not have plastic in them at all (silent spinners, other plastic wheels, proper built bin-cages, and shielded water bottles are exceptions! Just be warned, the former may get chewed!
 ).
If you post any of the "no-nos" above we'll delete them without warning.  If a new member goes through these pictures and sees that they'll think "Oh cool! I'm going to put them in a all plastic cage! With a plastic hut!" And we all know what will happen to that! Also read this: Lets see great pictures of "IDEAL" set ups... lot of digging, no plastic... etc. I really wanna see your guys creative side show through....

This is Toffee & Snickers latest home arrangement. 20 gallon long tank with Eco bedding. Their food dish sits on top of a reptile corner platform which has 2 stair step ramps to the top. It's hollow underneath and they like to sleep under it.  |

Wow blackwolf that's awesome. What kind of bedding is that?! Here's my current housing pictures (taken today) Pepper's Cage (with the new topper):  AND  Here's Evie's cage:  AND  They definitely don't look as elaborate as some of them but... it's what we've got for now  |

I should add Button and lewis's set up They were in a 20 gallon, 2 shelf perfecto but a few weeks ago got a big upgrade! A 4ft long tank from Ebay that cost me £10.50 ;D The lid and topper is an old hamster cage that only cost me £5 so we cut it up and made a nice big opening lid with a shelf for them to sit on. the topper also allows them to get from side to side as the tank was split into two.  (note this is a very nice freshly cleaned cage. not so much like this now :  |

Here's an update on Evie's new set up. BIG difference due to her christmas present.   For 1 gerbil it's ALOT of space but she had a great time digging around to find the wooden house and cardboard boxes |

This is the cage as of about 20 minutes ago. It started off as newspaper shreddings, but I keep adding layers of other stuff, like Carefresh and Eco-Bedding and Orchard Grass. I have a big bag of fresh newspaper shreddings that I'm fully prepared to heap on top of the rest, lol. The tank is a 20gal tall. Not too elaborate yet, but the gerbils have been here less than a week, lol  On the other side of the wood piece is their little house, what I like to call a "garage" ('cause that's what it looks like, lol). I like to put some orchard grass in the box on the top, and sometimes I sprinkle some food on top. Giacomo loves to hop in there and dig around for food.   (these pics were taken a while ago, when I was going to use it for mice. Then the gerbils came and I realized they would love it) |
