Help expanding tank

[happythoughts]

Hey all, I’m new to the forum but a long time lurker. We’ve had hamsters for years but new to the gerbil world & after much research we now have 2 boys; Nuke & Bullet (names curtesy of my military obsessed teen lol)

They’re currently in a 80x48x40 tank which they’re happy with, having plenty of room to burrow, run & toys to climb/chew. We tried to add a cage topper but to be honest we’re not happy with it so would like to later update their tank to a bigger one.

For those in the UK where do you buy your tanks from? We’re having trouble finding anything that doesn’t come with/on a cabinet making the price well over £300/400, which is definitely out of our price range. Any help would be great!

I had a custom tank made by Junglepets.

It's also worth looking on Ebay, Gumtree, Facebook Marketplace etc for second hand large fish tanks. You'll need to make a mesh lid as well.

Late reply I know

On ebay, nacd_aquariums and DIVERSA sell plain tanks, and unless you go over ~120x50x50 cm they're not crazy prices (~£220 for that size without a lid).

Or wait for a 2nd hand one.

But perhaps you've already got a new tank?
