I recently got 3 gerbils and i was wondering if this was ok for them

Gerbils are small, this is a large size. I use it for my male guinea pug as a hutch. He us a larger male and when i put it in a U shape he fits in it. I think you would need a smaller size to use for gerbils.

It should be, but it's a large bridge. Make sure you have a cage big enough for this, if you already have one big enough, then I applaud you. Many people don't have large enough cages for their smaller animals. Also be aware that gerbils chew constantly, and they may tear this apart faster than you expect.

Unsure about gerbils specifically. Purchased for my chinchilla and she loved it! No apparent harm experienced.

I wouldn't recommend it i had 3 rats in it but it would be too small for even one guinea pig your better off getting a rabbitt cage that is longer this cage isnt long its more tall

Yes they're good for mice or any other smaller critters. And no you can have the tubes without needing another cage. If you have a lot of these you can make a maze or something else fun. With the amount here you can create smaller mazes that lead out side the cage or around it

I have 2 full grown male rats in mine, they have plenty of space and love it. Happy boys :) Just let them out to play every now and then.

I think it would be fine for two gerbils - my only issue is that there is not space for a little "house" for our rat to use - they like to have some place to hide and make their nest

We have a pair of fancy mice females who can move comfortably through the tunnels. Very small dwarf hamsters might fit, but larger hamsters would be too big - I'm not sure about gerbils. The tubes are less than 2" or about 4.5 cms at widest points. Hope this helps!

I do not know about gerbils. I have used this with guinea pigs and rabbits and they do great with it.

Yes...These critters are really cute, my daughter has bonded with them. Believe it or not, they have personality and are a lot of fun to watch!! Initially, they were petrified in their new home, but are very comfortable now. They can sometimes be aggressive with any bottom/slow moving dwellers. One of mine is much calmer than the other, so again, it's a chance you're taking. If you decide to put them in the same tank, be sure that it's very heavily planted so that both have plenty of places to hide. Good luck and happy holidays!

I'm pretty sure you dont need extra holes. There are times that I've left them in there for a couple of days, accidently, and they are fine. But the trap is full of poop. I'm glad you're concerned about their welfare. They are so cute!

Yes, we have two Gerbils using this item and they love it! This item was not easy to put together, but once it is together, you are fine. Our Gerbils keep knocking the large ramp down, and I am working on securing the ramp so it is permanant. My daughter loves this because she gets to see her pets more than when they are hiding in the shavings!

big enough for 1, we use it for our Hamster. If your gerbils are big, they may be cramped. Be careful with the bottom part, there's a little bar that slides it together (to keep the bus together), if the bottom is not secure, they will get loose. If it was me, and I had 2 big gerbils, no, this is too small. If they are small gerbils, they could fit ok. The school bus is cute. Our hamster loves it :)

I think it would be fine for them, the walls are not too high. Are they in a good sized enclosure? It takes up some space. My bunny likes to sit in hers when she eats, and she has a lot of room in her hutch.

I am sorry but I do not have an answer for you. I used it in connection with another habitrail system. Also, it should be fine for a gerbil. I had a dwarf hamster and a regular hamster and both are fine in there. The dwarf had a hard time climbing up when I contstrcted the cage that way but the normal size one is fine.

I loved it but it was chewed by 1 in a month and the other maybe 3 months! I had to purchase 2 new so I ordered the metal mesh platform offered! No mess compared to all the chewed purple plastic. I even lost one gerbil! Not sure why but I have no plastic except food bowl in the habitat! Another words go with the mesh black metal, I added a swinging bridge it gives them more she is a climbing flying gerbil!

I've had it about a year and no problems so far! I have 2 hamsters and there is another one I like better. My hamster is fat so he has a little trouble with the tubes. I'll see if I can find the link to the other one. The wheel is also pretty small.

Sorry, I know this is a late answer and probably not helpful to you - but I thought I'd put it out there for other people. This would NOT be good for gerbils as their main home since they will destroy the plastic in no time by chewing. Also, they need to be able to dig in at least 8-12 inches of bedding or they tend to 'dig' in an empty corner until their noses bleed. A glass aquarium with a secure lid and tons of bedding works great! I did get this as a play cage for my gerbil though with lots of tubes - I would use it for that : ) Also for gerbils these make a good place for a sand bath cause he can go in there and roll and the sand won't get all over the place Sorry, I know this is a late answer and probably not helpful to you - but I thought I'd put it out there for other people.

It is very small unit. We did not use due to our "mice" or rats being too big. I would think only one at a time, even if they are truly mice.
