How To: Set Up a Gerbil Cage 

Your like the only person on youtube who makes awsome gerbil videos, your awsome

When the gerbils dig it up they must be like "oh my god everybody look what I found!"

Can I just say, I watched this video when I was a little kid years ago. (Me trying to get a pet) and now after having a hamster I realized that she was WAY ahead of time. I mean she has a detolf and sand bath and digging space! This was 6 years ago!

you’re the only gerbil channel I trust

Aww so cute!! Love the way you set up their "cage" lol and I love the background to the cage so pretty.💚

This was just an amazing video!!! You setup the cage seriously to perfection every little toy or hit looked like so much fun for them! They have such a wonderful home and such a great mommy!!! Huge hugs!!😊

I don't have gerbils but I have a hamster in an Ikea Detolf and this is inspiring me so much!! Thank you!

I honestly love your channel so much!

Omg I love how you made the underground maze! You are so creative and i'm actually getting 3 gerbils around christmas! Have a great day Erin!

Very good info!! Will keep much of this in mind with our Gerbils!

your gerbi's are so adorable! I absolutely love this Detölf setup, great video♥️♥️

Great video and from people I have talked to nearly all gerbils use sandbox as a toilet!☺

I already learnt a lot - thank you so much for providing this content!

I have gerbils and you really help me

Nice video, great advice and it was very fun to see you set up the tank! They have a lovely set up, great job! :) x

omg i love ur detolf so much! 😍 i think i'm going to buy my gerbils the same cage. I am so excited to get it 😍

This video was amazing, I am seriously in love with your gerbils detolf and hopefully one day i will have my own group of gerbils in my detolf! Your setup is so well thought out,They have a seriously amazing home xx

If you have a smaller cage for your gerbils, I recommend using tortoise terrain as their bedding, it holds tunnels amazingly and encourages natural instincts because it’s a bit like sand.

This is amazing

Over 30years of gerbil fun, and I never thought about putting a wilderness poster. >_> Thanks! :D

Amazing cage by the way

I love your cleaning.routine. glad you made a video on it :)

great inspiration for thinking outside the box of a shop bought gerbilarium ,they just aren't big enough and way too exspensive. I'm gonna get mine a nice big tank next month. Your gerbils look so happy.

very cool and nice cage! I love it! :)

Awesome! They are very lucky!

I love your video I have had four gerbils in the past and love the.

How often do you clean the cage and how difficult is it to clean it with all of the bedding?

It look like the gerbils really like the cage look at the cuties! Great video as always loved it! :)

Omg! I absolutely love this video!!!! I really want gerbils and watching this video made me think about it more, thank you so much for uploading this! xxx

great ideas!

i love her vids

That is so cool

full pack and hugs to your channel, keep it up! your so awesome :)

CUTE!!! 😍😍😍

This is so cool! XD

Amazing cage setup! I was wonder how do you hand the water bottle on a glass cage?

I love using mega zorb!!

Where did u get the fish bowl thingie with the sand in from? thx

This provided wonderful inspiration for my detolf I'm buying tomorrow! I have 2 syrian hamsters, and will be dividing it in half. Ex: The jumbo wooden bendy bridge will be a perfect way to block their view of each other! Thanks so much for sharing.

Ficou lindo

Hi were did you get the wooden self I think it would be a great addition to my detolf!!

I liked this video

very. good

I lovet it 😘

where did you buy the separation piece? i just bought a matbe 50 or 100 gallon tank for my gerbil and need something like tgat to seprate the play and dig/burrow area

Okay thank you x

This was such a good video! The gerbils are very lucky to have such a good owner that goes to all this work for them :)

Wows good good good good vids and this vid so good

love

Do you know the exact measurements of the enclosure please?

nice

Heya love your setup could u tell we were u buy your megazorb and how much it is thx x😊

Is there any grip place on the inside where the gerbils can chew because I am thinking of getting the ikea detolf and know that gerbils are crazy chewers?

Cool muy vueno

The best medium is a composty mix of sawdust and earth. They love making burrows, which is what they would have in the wild.

Where's the bowl with the sand in from and what's it called?

hi did you have a lod for yours as i have this cage for mine but wasn't sure if u had to put a lid on it xx

I'd love the long to the log roll partition

Awesome video! Where did you get your tank? My gerbils have outgrown their cage and I would like to get them a lovely big tank like this.

What is the thing you use to hang the stuff

Wer do you get this cage ? Is super cool!

Does your megazorb have a strong smell to it? Great video by the way!

What's the size of your cage? Great video!

Its just that i already have 2 floor mansion for my gerbil Zelda 😂😂 i bought her a material sack like bag to sleep in on 2nd floor but she bit the fur and material out, she still sleeps in it though, also she has a tiny snack bowl with some berry flavour drops she likes to eat ONLY when everyones asleep 😂. She also has a wheel on 1st floor but for some reason she doesnt use it... idk why, and water jug on 1st floor aswell. On ground floor she has a coconut hut, her food bowl and a tunnel, also a dangling toy down the back of the cage. All around the cage there are cute safely painted wooden toys (painted in fruits and veggies), they are just in random spaces, she likes to sharp her teeth on them. I feed her a mix for gerbils. Everyday i provide her vegetables (mostly carrots and cucumbers) and sometimes some fruits like apples. Even though gerbils dont drink alot of water (because their habitat used to be in the desert) i still everyday change her water, and provide her fresh filtered water. I like to buy her sunflower seeds, i take her out onto my bed (she tries running away) but somehow i try to feed her the seeds to get used to me more. (I only have my gerbil for 2-3 weeks now, i got her for christmas, it was an early gift. I was going to get a rat but the cage for the rat that was needed was WAAAY too big, the rats name was going to be Lola, it got me upset that i couldnt get her. But i am happy with Zelda. I named her Zelda because of her whole fur being dark and a single thin stripe going down her throat, in old German i was told that the word/name Zelda means dark war, which i chose for her because shes all dark, she is also 1 month old and wont grow anymore)

Ah i love this :D What you do with their cage is very inspiring :') How do you get the log bridge (partition) to stay up and not be knocked over? xx

What bedding do u use for the gerbils??

Hi is the dust they use to clean the same as chinchilla dust or is it something different?

Can you give them hay as a nesting material? And can you use snake aspen for bedding?

What do you use as the top of the cage?

Welcome ~!!!!!

good

Any chance you can give me the links/tell me the places you bought all of the items from on this vid including the bedding thanks:)

What do you use for a lid?

I'm getting gerbils soon, and I want to know if it make sense to take the sand bath out in the evening and back inside in the morning to save space? Love your channel btw

Too. Cute.

Did you make the log roll partition by yourself or did you buy it? If so where?

Hi! I absolutely love the way you care for your gerbils you're such a good owner. Could you give me the link to where you got your cage from?

We're do you get megazorb from cause I need it

Is there any way that you could list where you got everything from like the cage and the house?

where did you get the wheel?!?? it’s soo adorable and i’ve been looking for one like that!

Were dit you get you tank ?

Where did you get the metal you have used inside and the lid?

You might not answer but where did you get the coconut with the holes that you put the hay in please answer

I'm getting two rabbits and two to three gerbils (not in the same cage) but I'm making a play pen for the rabbits that they go in to about 2-4 hours a day and I was wondering with supervision could I put them them all in it together?

Hi I really love your videos and I have one question how much does an ikea detolf cost?

im going to get gerbils soon and idk how many but if i get gerbils i'm getting them the detolf and they'll be female, what beddings best that you can find in the usa or canada? also idk how many i should get

Hey I was just wondering if it would be ok to keep two gerbils in a 20 gallon tank because I read that the minimum is five gallons per gerbil? Awesome video btw I subbed! 🐹💖

@Erin’sArk Hi, new subscriber here, love this enclosure. What’s your screen on the top ? Also do you boil the wood before putting it in the enclosure ? I also was told that reptisand is safer for the gerbils, not to much dust. Thanks 😊
