Well about the mesh..my girls are a bit crazy, they will climb up the mesh tat is covering the bottle or watever... then start to chew at the sides of the tank/box.... haih....

Luckily Foo nvr see my covers

Hello, I would say it would cost around RM 110 - RM 130 for everything. Of coz it depends on what size of tank you get, what brand of food and also where you buy the gerbils from. If you buy those RM 68 gerbils then definately you will spend much more, haha.... coz some pet shop sells at that price. Gerbil prices range from rm 20- rm 68 as what I have seen in pet shops.

Haha I dont think her bf would mind the extra help... then he can sit bak n relax while someone else does his work. Anyone volunteer to help me clean tanks? LOL

Toy got cheap n got expensive... but cheap toys are best for gerbils since they destroy everything... haha...

Free toys~ toilet rolls, tissue boxes, any cardboard stuff, any empty small boxes, empty jam jars

Cheap toys ~ Rm 2 or RM 5 aroma burner , rm 1.50 - rm 2.50 PVC pipes, rm 1 cups, 0.50 cents rolled up manila paper

Slightly more pricey toys ~ RM5 metal stationary holder, Rm7 hanging coconut, RM5 - rm10 driftwood, rm 10 wooden block with holes, Rm 12 wooden house

My more expensive toys ~ Metal ikea stand(their favourite place to sleep), metal exercise wheel

Note that most permanent gerbil toys should be either wood or metal... plastic toys will be destroyed very fast....

Oo, so when you graduate you will be a religious teacher or something? Then you can promote pets to ur student also....hahahaha....

Haha... looks like more than 1 months supply of bedding for me

Hello, congrats on your gerbils..do post pics, hehe

Oh, kembara also join gerbil gang adi ar..post some pics of your gerbils, hehe

minimum tank space is 1.5 feet tank... you can get 2 feet if you want to decorate it with more stuff and toys

No need, although also can.... but some gerbils dunno how to run a wheel. My boys tank got a wheel but only 3 of them use it, the other 2 dunno. But wheel is a problem for gerbils.. bcoz of the tail can get stuck in the holes for metal wheel. For plastic wheel gerbils will destroy it. So far malaysia doesnt sell the metal mesh wheel that is safe for gerbils..although I hear some ppl say petsmoore sell it, but im always not able to find it, haha

If you can find this type of wheel, its good for gerbils.

Mine will chew cardboard boses too..hehe... they dont last very long, but they like to play with it.

empty tissue paper box, manila card, branches(make sure its from non toxic tree), shredded paper, hay.....

Haha.. dont let them reach the roof... mine also chew a hole in my bin b4 after reaching the roof by standing on toys....

Male gerbils are bigger than gerbil females actually
