New pet gerbil email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. sororravn (353)2 years ago

So, I got a new baby gerbil boy. His name is Pip Squared. However, my dilemma is that all that I have is my old guinea pig's cage and he can fit through the bars on it. So, right now, I have him in a little travel cage. I want to be able to put him in the bigger cage but have no idea how to stop him from crawling out the cage while I am not watching him. Anyone have any ideas on what I can put around the bottom of the cage to ensure that he does not climb out. Any suggestions? I would also appreciate any hints and tips on gerbil care as this is the first one that I have ever owned. Thanks!ninja

awww! he sounds so cute sororravn. do you have a pic of him?
we would love to see what he looks like! I use to own gerbils back when i was younger. but i don't no more now. i own guinea pigs. They are my pets.
to answer you question, get an aquarium tank, at least a 30 gallon and than he wont be able to climb out of it. unless if he can fly. LOL
when i had my lil gerbils, I'd put them in an aquarium 30 gal. tank.
and they kept in there, and done great too.
hope this helps you. and thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures because I got him about an hour before I had to leave for work. Hopefully I will have pictures of him soon=) Do you happen to know what kind of bedding is best for them? Or, what kind of food that they can eat? I am looking online and finding some really good information but personal experience is always good!

I like Gerbils very much,they are very cute to see.It is a new pet i heard this name gerbil.I have brought new pets it is very expensive similar to gerbil and i like it very much.Everyday i take care about these pets and about their food and diet.I Usually watch in TV different types of pets.These pets i will keep in a cage and whenever i went outside it is a safe place.Gebrils look very cute,funny and pretty looking and with colourful.
