So there was this thread on a hamster forum so I thought I'd share it here too! Really love Ikea because of their cheap glass accessories!  MIXTUR glass over/ serving dish for their sand bath.  KORKEN glass jar for the Gerbils' sunflowerseeds treat.  FÖRVAR glass jars, which I find would be good toilets/ sand pits for Gerbils or hideouts when tilted, or for food storage obviously.  Also the ÖPPEN glass bowl which works nicely as a food bowl! Anyone here loves Ikea, too? |

I wish I had an IKEA near me. I love their furniture and the prices are amazing. Plus I actually enjoy putting things together, lol. I used to use an 8 cube EXPEDIT for gerbil-related things and it worked brilliantly.  I've since downsized and don't use that unit anymore, but it worked fantastically when I had 2 tanks of gerbils and several bins full of gerbil stuff  |

The Ikea detolf works great as a glass tank for your gerbils. Just don't add the shelves and the door and you have your tank. It's huge as well so there is plenty of room for your gerbils to have fun!  www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10119206/PetMad15 |

Ikea rules!
I never look at a products original purpose, I always think how I could gerbilify it...

I had a Detolf, but the sand all fell into the part where the rubber connects the glasses.

The Detolf tank looks amazing! We've used the SAMLA storage box for a bin cage for two of our hamsters, since it's a really nice big size. It wouldn't be suitable for gerbils unfortunately, since the box isn't smooth inside, so gerbils could get their teeth around the plastic.
I've wanted to add a glass jar for ages, but we don't normally buy any food that comes in jars large enough, so I'll look out for these next time I manage to get to IKEA!

I just came back from Ikea (New members coming Monday!). So glad my Ikea is just a stone throw off where I stay.  I bought this - MIXTUR Oven/serving dish set of 4, clear glass. The bottom one, I gave to Quasar and Stardust for their sand; And the 3 smaller bowls, I am using 1 for my new setup and 1 for the 2 boys too. I have 1 left! |
