If you can, show us some more pics of the whole house if you can and then I can make some suggestions.  |

maybe add a wheel and some more bedding so they can dig? Looks a little empty..the egg box probably won't last more than 5 minutes. Do your gerbils actually use that log? I have the same one..they used it when they were pups, but seems like they're too big for it and they just bury it now. Waste of $5  |

J, where did you get your log? That looks like something I might want to try. Have you seen them online anywhere? There are only small family-run pet stores in my area, except Pets Supplies Plus, and I haven't seen logs like those anywhere here. Small pet section or reptile?
Birko, I'd have asked you, but I know you're in the UK and have different stores there.

;D Hmmm, Pets Supplies Plus, huh? I'll have to take another look. I may have seen something similar there, but they were (or looked) a lot smaller than the one in Birko's tank. Maybe Petsmart has them online. Thanks a bunch. RW |

I have seen those real logs with holes in them at Petco and other small pet stores. |

I'm pretty sure it's the same one he's got. Has the 3 holes in the same positions and everything.
It is kind of small though. The inside of it, is like 2 inches. For them to crawl through it.. it's a tight fit. Which is why mine stopped using it when they got bigger. Was great for the pups, they used to sleep in it and eat in it. I don't even think some of my males would be able to get their head in it. lol.
Birko how old are your gerbils? I'm just wondering if they're full grown.

Thanks, Ryan. Unfortunately, I live at the a$$ end of the universe and the nearest Petco is about 4 billion miles away. The small mom and pop stores aren't big into gerbil stuff, either.  RW |

I'll bet those are the ones I saw. The last thing I need is to tell my husband he needs to whip out his chainsaw to unstick a gerbil from a log.  Oh, well, there's always Plan B--sweet talk Mr. Chainsaw into making some of those logs, only bigger. ;D RW |
