That's a great Idea.. Thank you! I've been looking for something more exciting for my gerbil. I'm definitely doing this next time I clean the tank!  |

Hmm... that eco-bedding looks like cardboard put through a shredder!! Is it? It does look like that! Would you like to see close-up pictures of it? x Is that what aspen is supposed to look like? That's not what I have... Which picture are you talking about? The first few pictures have aspen and the last few have Eco-Bedding.  |

The first ones. Maybe it's just the brands. Mine is the Petco brand. Mine looks more like wood chips, in the pictures, your looks more like shavings. PS: You posted your response to SilverGerbil inside the quote.  |

PS: You posted your response to SilverGerbil inside the quote. Yeah, different brands look different. I used to use Kaytee brand it looked more like shavings. This stuff looks more like it's shredded or something. And, oops! my bad! |

Okay, so being part time employment leaves me with loads of free time -sigh- i get bored with myself! So i decided to take Boz's idea and do something with it (mine are due a change) so i swapped the tanks around (kink and sparrow in the perfecto, and Cyd in the 2ft tank, naimly because im very tempted to split cage her). So here goes...Some pictures: (I did wash the tanks btw i just put bedding back in their then decided to do this...)    (I stuffed loads of hay in the big tube (its like.. 7" diamiter!!) and cyds helping (she was being a pain ) I put in a TONNE of bedding so i had to re-construct the bottle so it wasnt getting blocked...i LOVE zip ties   (told you my DIY sucks !)  My attempt at Boz's FANTASTIC Idea |

The problem with that setup is that you can't interact with the gerbils. I try to minimize the paper rolls as they tend to hide in there a lot. I just give them enough hiding for them to retreat when they are sleepy or afraid and then everything else is an open space so I can put my hands in their tank and play with them everyday.

Prolinker - It may not be best for an unsocial or newer gerbil. I think it is fine if your gerbils like coming to you already because you don't have to worry about them hiding.
