The Ground Cover at Gerbilscaping

Of course, a thick layer of ground cover is very nice. All Gerbils enjoy digging and will happily do so in a thick layer of bedding. A guideline is a layer of 20 - 30 cm deep. We have created a handy overview of all Gerbilscape ground cover plants in the next category.

Which ground cover for Gerbilscaping?

The best ground cover for Gerbilscaping is one that allows tunnel digging. Many ground covers are not airy enough for this and quickly collapse. Naturally, we have selected which ground cover plants will remain.

Mixing ground covers is also a lot of fun!

Mixing different ground cover crops such as cotton, wood fiber and hay or cotton with hemp fiber can give the soil extra volume! The most popular ground covers are Cotton & Cotton , Cotton & Hemp and Cotton & Wood Fiber . This allows high layers to be created and tunnels remain intact!

Houses for Gerbilscaping

The nicest houses for Gerbilscaping are the wooden houses and the rock houses , but grass houses are also very nice and edible houses can even be used. It is important to look at the size of the house. For example, the houses for Gerbils must take into account that the animals live in groups. The larger the group, the larger the house must be and Gerbils also need several houses to be able to isolate themselves if they need it.

Multi-room houses are very popular for a gerbilscape. These houses give the Gerbils extra space in the form of rooms. Many Gerbils will sleep in one room and stock up on food in the other.

Be careful with heavy parts

It is good to place heavy running wheels or other cage parts on a platform. Some things can also be secured with the help of vines. Placing a heavy object on the ground cover can be dangerous. The hamsters may dig under the object until they reach the bottom and become stuck.
