CLEANING MY GERBILS' CAGE 

Would you consider doing a care video on gerbils? I’d love to learn more, I don’t know anything about gerbils! That amount of bedding they need is crazy!!

I would love to use carefresh for my gerbils but its just so expensive. In the UK it costs £7 ($8.86) for a full pack and you used 5 packs there so it would cost me £35 or $44 which is an insane amount to spend on bedding everytime I clean, which is around once a fortnight. I use shavings instead, and one bale costs me £4.50 ($5.70) and I use between 1 and 2 bales each clean. I know you shouldn't get a pet if you can't afford them but my bank account was screaming in pain watching this! No hate though I love your videos

How often do you do this because thst is a lot of bedding to use if your changing it often must be expensive! I have guinea pigs and I have a 140 litre bag of it and I change it once a week and it lasts me about 5 weeks

Umm in the US it costs me $20 per bag

Lovin the HP t-shirt 👕

I love watching your videos because you seem so passionate about your animals, and it's adorable. 😊

Looks awesome Tara! Love all the colors, and it's so nice to see a gerbil owner who gives them the amount of bedding they need to thrive

I love these kinds of videos! They are so satisfying !! Love the shirt

Love you and love your shirt. I plan on buy things for your store in the future keep making videos I learn so much from you

Luv the cage! It looks beautiful and so much fun! Luv your shirt to!😊

Hi Terra, One viewer recommended putting coroplast down over the bottom of the wire cage.. It might be worth doing instead of replenishing all the grass mats!! Love your hair and t-shirt!! Merry Christmas!!🎄

Thank you so much! The layered colors look great! :)

I don’t use carefresh anymore. So when I was cleaning out my hamster’s cage and I was putting in the bedding, I saw some web looking stuff and i looked it up and it’s from a certain type of bug..so now I use, all living things. :D its a good brand but the odor control isn’t that great.

Where could i find a cage like that? Ive been struggling to find an adequate cage for my gerbies

Wow this was really satisfying 🤤

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii I love your channel and videos soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much and I hope you have a merry Christmas or whatever you celebrate!!!!!!!!!

Your videos are relaxing !

Where did you find that tank topper. I have a 30 gallon tank for my gerbils, but couldn't find a cage topper for it anywhere?

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!

These gerbils are living a cute little dream

Love the t-shirt!❤️

I really do enjoy your channel 💗💗💗

What about some kind of recyclable cardboard with grass mats on top? I can always find boxes to cut up so I’m wondering if it might be easier to just dispose of cardboard once a week or so (pending on how soiled) and replenish.

Being sponsored by carefresh is the dream 💗

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!

What did you use for the wire cage that fits on the 40 gallon?

Hello! You said that you have the new 10” silent spinner on your pet shop, but I can’t find it. It’s not even online. Do you still sell them?

You give all your animals amazing care they are so lucky to have you and not just some little kid who squeezes them when they hold them

I love your shirt!! And especially your videos 🙂

Do I smell a sponsorship!? I’m jk, love you Pickles💖

I have the care fresh Christmas one and I don't like the way the bedding feels. It feels more stiff and hard. Idk 8f it's just the dyed pieces of paper or what but I don't think I'm going to buy that one again. I'll just stick with the pink one cause it feels soft.

I really don't like that wire bottom... even with the grass matts covering it, there are still a lot of wired areas. Bubble foot is still at risk here, even though you have SOME grass matts....

Most gerbil owners on all the forums I’m in avoid carefresh due to the dust, as gerbils have a super sensitive respiratory system. I’d stay away from carefresh, it’s what I was using when my girls developed a respiratory infection and after switching I haven’t had an issue since!

wow, i dont have gerbils so i didnt know they need so much bedding in their tank!!!! looks super nice

Great informative video! Thanks

My dad gave me some money so I was able to by a couple bags of Carefresh and I copied this for my Russian dwarf milo and he loved it I think he was a bit sad when i had to clean it all 😂

aaaah, I love this

I’m getting gerbils Saturday can’t wait so precious

Omg this is so cool! My 2 gerbils are in a 40 gallon bin with about 7-8 inch bedding and some toys, but ur cage is AMAZING!

This is a really neat video! I have a little suggestion for the wire bottom of your topper! I used to have something like thiss as well, what worked for was cutting cardboard (Or anything really) to fir the holes and such. Then I put a fleece blanket on top that I changed everytime I changed their bedding and I don't think they noticed but it gave my peace of mind knowing they couldn't get bumble foot! Love your videos! keep it up!

Looks so pretty!

The cage looks great!! Those colors are awesome! Nice set up Pickles! 💜💙💗

How often do you clean their cage?

Gerbil people, what water bottles do you recommend? The kind I have keep leaking and I worry that on some leak proof ones the review say that the ball got stuck and no water was coming out so their hamster and gerbils ended up dead. Please recommend what’s your favorite!

I love how the cage came out it looks very pretty and colorful 😍.Is reptile sand safe to use for hamster?

I am amazed! When I was in 6th grade, I got gerbils. There names were Geo and Gizmo. Gizmo died from unknown caused the year I got him at the age of one year, and he was grey and white like your gerbil. My gerbil Geo lived more than 3 years, dying last March from old age but he was brown. It’s so weird because it’s like Gizmo has come alive again :)

I don’t even own gerbils I just get mesmerized by your videos 😂😅

Hello I would really appreciate if you could answer this question! Do you think three gerbils could live in a wooden fit cage? It’s pretty secure I’m just scared they will chew through it! What do you think?

❤️ your shirt!

You should try ceramic tiles for over the wire. Easy to clean and are less likely to get chewed/destroyed.

Looks great

Love the video

How do they get in and out of the sand jar?

I love this cage sooo much! Do you know what it is and what the link is or is it DIY????

Is this not a ton of bedding?.... I'm thinking about getting gerbils and I know that they shred the bedding, so it kindve seems excessive to add that much, and when they shred it the bedding gets bigger...

Great Video

So cute!

I would be investing in a shop vac ASAP. Taking out that bedding was wayyyy to much work lol

the pink is so pretty

The cage is so pretty

Great job. 👌

That bedding is so cute and I LOVE that cage idea! 💛

That’s insane how much bedding you use!

Dear Pickle, I think your gerbil cage looks amazing and your gerbils are going to absolutely love it!

I absolutely love your enclosure!! Did you make it or buy it? If you bought it where!!! If you made it could you tell me how?

🤦‍♀️ when I was like ten I had a gerbil named Jack and I kept him in a plastic birdcage. My parents got me him for Christmas and I had no idea how to look after him. He had like one inch of pine shavings, hamster food, and a wire wheel that was definitely too small and yeah that's basically it.🤦‍♀️ He lived two or three years. I mean it could have been worse though.🤷 Nvm it couldn't have been. 🤦‍♀️

Yes my song!

You could use Cora plastic for the bottom

Use some thick fabric and zip tie it to the bottom of the wire cage, that when you can replace it when needed. That’s what I do and it works great

great vid

why dont you attach the water bottle to the outside of the cage? easier to take off for cleaning and less likely to get chewed

thats a lot of space for burrowing!

Did you remove the grass mats at the end?

Wow it’s take 3 bin bag to clear the cage I didn’t expect that one

You can get carefresh custom for rabbits and Guinea pigs and put that over the mesh. It has much bigger pieces so only a little will fall through.

I’m confused. Do you have to do this every week? Let’s say a bag of the bedding is 5 dollars. Will that be 5 dollars I’m spending every week. And also do I just get rid of their old bedding, if I do how should I properly dispose it?

How often do you have to clean a cage that big

That’s a amazing amount of bedding! Some people on give there gerbils 3 inches like hamsters.

I love the look of the layered bedding! I have a question, if the entire bottom of the wire topper cage is covered (be it by grass mats or something else) doesn't that restrict the air flow to the tank half of the enclosure?

I 💕 ur Hogwarts shirt!

Did u make that top for your gerbils or did u buy it

I love pickles pets

Your Black and white Gerbil looks like one of mine...she's called Cola. She has to sisters, Fanta and Spezi which are light brown with the same white patterns as Cola and dark brown which is the so called "wild"-coloring.

What kind of tank topper is that? Where did you get it?

How many liters were those bags?

The 5 dislikes are the care fresh competition.

Can we get another gerbil tank tour

Love how you care for your gerbils.If you see what i saw ,you would freak out .I went to some petstore and i saw 3 gerbils in tank cage with dimension of a A4 paper.Thats just sadistic.Plus there wasn't enough bedding.Same with the 3fully grown Syrian hamesters kept in such tiny cage.For them ,the tiny tales which we call tiny ,would be 100 times better.I don't now how that petstore owner has licence.Not to mention that one year ago when i buyed two degus,they told that it was chincilla and sold me critter cage with them.Its just horrible.But first of all the country that i live in is small developing and the mentality of people is just 200 years ago.They don't give damn about animals.In my country almost no one buys animals from petstore.They judged me when i byued degus that they are rats,they are dirty,they are pests,that i have no friends because i buy pet.......So happy for you that you are not like that and the people in your country are more sofisticated and obviously not living millennium ago.Keep up the good work.Im just furious of the gerbils cage because that is torture.Basicaly the entire cage in which 3 gerbils are cuddling and don't have space, should be the size of hidehouse for only one gerbils.Im furious.I wanted to help them but maybe they were I'll and old and plus they were only shaking from the cold and sleeping and didn't have the space to move from each other and burrow and it was just sad.Im still very young to confront the owner and plus if i buy them to save them ,the petstore sells incredible ridiculously tiny cage so i don't have where to keep them,and probably they are stressed and I'll and not tamed,because for sure owner that don't know the name of the animal he's keeping ,he surely doesn't know to tame them.I would pray for them😥😷🤒👿

10:47 where are the grass mats?

I LOVE GERBILS

Im hard of hearing, can't quite catch what you're saying when you hope they don't try to (something) and that they've only done that once. Could someone clarify? Thanks :)

I would suggest actually putting a thin layer of hay between each layer of bedding. It holds in burrows really well! My hamsters love it

Can you do a video on girbil safe sandbaths

Chewy and petsmart sells the Carefresh bedding too.

Wow.. this makes me want to change my 20 g tank for a 40 g or at least get a topper like that! My gerbils would love this :"0

I have a question. Isn’t it bad for them to walk on the wire?

My Syrian hamster likes to bring her food into her bed and she hides it in a corner so when I clean her cage should I replace that food that she hid with new food or should I just let her hid new food somewhere else

my dream cage

A 55 gallon would be awesome for them!!!!

Best gerbil cage ever, love when ppl care ❤❤❤❤❤
