I am gonna move my 2 gerbils from a 2 ft to 3 ft tank . I know it will be spacious especially for 2 gerbils. But it can get a bit boring for them and for us . So , my question is , What kind of stuff/furnishings do you put in your tanks . I am putting some glass jars ( for them to sleep in) , some wood thingys ( the ones you put in ur fish tanks ) and 2 flat rocks , (when it the weather gets hot , the rock is cool ) . Got any suggestions  ? |

A wheel is ALWAYS fun  If this tank is a 20g Tall you can add a second level, or use tank sealent to glue two wooden houses on top of one another. I use a spice rack from Walmart for a second level in one of my tanks. If you can get a shipping tube you can cut those into peices. Or some people use PVC piping. And of course carboard, lots and lots of cardboard.  |

LOL... I actually have no clue what it is.. but yes it is springy lol... I've had it forever. The boys no longer use that water bottle, they havea fully covered one now. Chevy kept attacking that one... what a mess.

I was wondering about the spice rack thing...I have one that i am not using in the basement and thought about using it in my aquarium with my two little guys but I was worried about them chewing on it since it is made of wire coated material...think it is ok??
Thanks! ;D

If it's not too hard, maybe you can add tunnels of paper towel rolls. I did that a long time ago, and it was fun!

Thanks! ;D It took mine no time to chew the little bit of plastic coating off the legs, They didn't get sick, nor have anyone elses gerbils who I know have racks in there tanks also. So I don't feel it to be a problem. |
