Hello! I want to make a DIY enclosure for my 2 male gerbils. What type of plastic should I use?? What glue brand/type? And any tips/recommendations?  Thanks! |

Hello, For the front of an enclosure you can use acrylic sheet. I don't think it would work to use plastic for all four sides, so you'd probably need to have the sides, back and base made of wood. You'd need to use nails as glue wouldn't be strong enough. If you don't want to make something entirely from scratch, many people have found ways to convert Ikea furniture into gerbil enclosures e.g the Linnmon, Platsa or Detolf. The detolf just involves laying the cabinet on its back with the shelves removing, to make a single long tank, and building a mesh lid for it. |
