I'm just about to set up my new aquarium and was wondering if I should transfer some of the peat from the box that my gerbils are living in at the moment.
Will that help them settle into a new environment quicker, or is it okay/better to use all new stuff?

Squeaky,
It depends if you are trying to introduce. If you are only putting in the gerbils you purchased then I would think the familiar smells would help in the transition. If you are trying to introduce, I would add all fresh stuff. It assists in keeping things less territorial.
Congrats on the new gerbs! ;D

When I clean out our gerbils, or change the houses for any reason. I change and clean everything!. The gerbils seem to not mind and even enjoy haveing a brand new home.
