I am thinking of buying new toys for my boys (I'm from the UK), as they do not have many durable toys. So, I was wondering if anyone could recommend somewhat durable toys, and not something that will be destroyed within a few minutes? (I usually order from Viovet, but I'm not sure from where I will be buying this time.)
Ginger and Richard usually like natural wooden things (willow sticks, wooden tunnels, etc), they don't seem to care about "veggie shaped" chew toys that are found in most shops, or their garland.

The Build N Bite looks awesome! Haven't seen it sold over here, but I'll have a look at some point to see if I can find something like that. My boys would definitely enjoy chewing that up! I haven't dared to try the bird toys yet as I'm not overly convinced that Ginger and Richard would like them. (They seem to be really picky when it comes to toys compared to most gerbils!) But maybe one day I will buy one if I can find a cheap one. The Nut Knot Nibbler is quite small, from what I have seen, for how long does it last with your gerbils? I have never bought it as I have thought it's a bit pricey for the size... But if it does last for a bit then I could give it a go. Thanks for the recommendations!  |

My boys love the hide and seek cube, they have had it almost their whole life as chewed all over and it's still in one peice! I also recommend coconut houses and bird ladder my boys love climbing on the bird ladder as chewing on it Daisy isn't much of a chewer so a cardboard tube lasts her a while :') |

I already have one bird ladder, but I had problems fitting it in the cage the last time I tried (tried to put it next to the topper floor, but it was too wide, I think). How have you put it in?

The knot nibblers I've bought are a little larger than my fist. I can't remember how long they last, maybe a week or so. Here are some old photos of my last pair with the knot nibbler and the build n bites. Not the best pics but it may help you see the size:   |

PetMad & gerbillover; Thanks for the help! I have been thinking of getting the hide and seek cube for a while, but then bought something similar so haven't really wanted to buy it. But probably a good buy if it lasts for so long, and would give a little bit of change to the boys! Gerblover; I will see if I am able to find those in a reasonable price, a week is a pretty good amount of time for a toy, considering most things they go through within a day or so!  The Build N Bite looks massive! |
