Did you know that the tank enclosure of gerbils is
referred to as a “gerbilarium”? Gerbils thrive in spacious enclosures so they
have plenty of room to play around and dig. A large tank or aquarium fitted
with a cage on top is just right for the purpose. Just be sure that the wire
lid is secure because gerbils are accomplished escape artists and they are
great jumpers, too! To comfortably accommodate a pair of gerbils, the minimum
standard dimension of the gerbilarium is 40-75 centimeters by 30 centimeters
(height). The walls of the tank keeps bedding from being kicked out when
gerbils dig. However, there is a lack of ventilation as the walls prevent
proper air circulation. A wire lid can help though when it comes to improving
ventilation inside the tank. The tank should be kept out of direct sunlight
because the temperature inside can easily soar which can be extremely dangerous
to the gerbils.
Pet gerbils can also suffer from health issues thus they will benefit
from regular visits to a vet clinic Cy-Fair.
