    I have a couple questions! :)
    1) Are there any brands that you would recommend? (bedding, toys, hides, etc.)
    2) What type of bedding do you use?
    3) At 4:00 what is the wooden structure? (the one that looks like kind of like steps)
    That's all!! Your channel has really helped me through the years, so I would like to thank you for that! :)

      Hi there,
      Thank you for your comment! It is nice to hear that the channel has been helpful to you :)
      In general, I find that small animals will love the natural & free items as much as those from the pet store. For instance, wood pieces, branches, hanging ropes, plant pots, rocks, pipes etc seem to be very popular. I used low dust horse bedding (which comes in bales) mixed with hay to help hold the structure of their burrows. I believe the wooden structure is from the brand Trixie if I remember correctly. Hope that helps :)

      @violethaye6987 4 роки тому

      @Forrest Mcgee ikea detolf's are cabinets originally built and designed for displaying items in your house, like a tall and long glass cabinet. Rodent owners got the idea to flip it on it's side without one side of glass, as a very long but somewhat narrow enclosure for their animals to live in. It doesn't come with a lid of course, so you can DIY it. (usually mesh lids are used)

      Hello! I have two gerbils and they are such a joy! Definitely get more than one gerbil, they are very social animals. also, make sure they have a cage that allows them to burrow because they love burrowing. They chew a lot so it’s a good idea to get them plenty of chew toys. They should also have a wheel in their cage and a sand bath once a week. I hope this helped! They are pretty low maintenance but still require a lot of care and love :)

    • @animalsfurever7899
      @animalsfurever7899 5 років тому

      both dishes a water botttles are fine. dishes need to be changed every day. they give the gerbil a more natural way to drink water. if a little bit of water splashes on them they will be completely fine. it is very rare for them to actually become fully submerged in water.
