I want to get a gerbil and i want to get a plastic cage with tubes but i heard that they can claw threw the cage so i was wondering why they do this and how long does it take
My Habittrail, set was so cool when I was a kid.. we bought over 50 feet of tubes before we stopped, they went up and down and spiraled around our family room.... My Gerbils never clawed through it. My kids use it for their Hamsters now. It is still going strong ..
You're right, plastic is not good for them. I recommend getting an aquarium (I have a 55 gallon myself). For two gerbils a 20 gallon would be okay, but the bigger the better. Fill the aquarium with wood toys and cardboard (hideouts, playground, etc). Trixie Pet products are nice for gerbils. I know the CritterTrail habbitats look nice but they are not worth it. The gerbils can get sick/hurt from the plastic and there isn't adequate space. Good luck.
