I am thinking about getting a new 10-20 gallon tank for my 3 gerbils. Any idea how much they cost, and where I can get them?

Ryan,
I got a 10 gal from Walmart for $9.98 and one from PetSmart for $9.99. I also got a 20 gal from PetSmart since WalMart did not have any and it was $24.00. You might be better off getting 2 - 10 gal. It is more versatile also and you can connect them. I also went to Home Depot and got a $5 roll of fencing to cover the top of the tank to keep them in!! I will take a picture and post it maybe tomorrow or the day after.

Wow, that is pretty cheap. I thought they would be expensive, but I will check at Wal-Mart and then Petsmart or Petco.  |

Yeah Walmart and Petsmart are pretty cheap..same prices here.
But I get my 10 gallons from Petsuppliesplus for $7.98. The covers are also about that price.
I think the 20 gallons are about $25?
My 29 gallon was only $50.

Oh yeah.. if you go to Petco.. Check out their clearence racks first! Every Petco I've been in has one in the corner of the store somewhere.. Usually it's just stuff that people have returned or things that they used as a display. I once saw a 40 gallon "breeders tank".. no cover but it was long.. lots of floor room for only $10.. But I didn't have any money that day.  |

I think I will call my local Petco and small pet store to see what they have.  |

they don't have lids though, you have to make your own

Which do you think you'll get? I am so mad  that I spent all that money on those Hartz cages and accessories. They were messy and all the bedding was all over the floor. I wish I did my research before!! It was a costly mistake for me. I ended up just getting 4 -20 gal tanks. I bought one a week. Of course PetSmart had them for $19.99 on sale so I picked up 2 then!! I could not pass up that price! How are your little ones doing? |

Same with me! All the bedding gets out and makes a mess, and mom doesn't like it.  I am still debating on what to do. With he tank, will they make noise at night? (no bars and plastic to bite on) Right now, I would have to have 4 houses, 2 upstairs and 2 down because the 2 clans need to be split. If they don't make noise in the tank, I will start by buying 2 10 gallons and add on from there. |
