The Ground Covering at Gerbilscaping

Of course, a thick layer of ground cover is very nice. All Gerbils love to dig and will therefore gladly do so in a thick layer of ground cover. A guideline is a layer of 20 - 30 cm deep. We have made a handy overview of all Gerbilscape ground covers in the following category.

Which substrate for Gerbilscaping?

The best ground cover for Gerbilscaping is one that allows for digging tunnels. Many ground covers are not airy enough for this and quickly collapse. Of course, we have researched which ground covers do remain standing.

Mixing ground covers is also a lot of fun!

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

Houses for Gerbilscaping

The best houses for Gerbilscaping are the wooden houses and the rock houses , but grass houses are also very nice and even edible houses can 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 multiple houses to be able to isolate themselves if they need to.

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 store food in the other room.

Be careful with heavy parts

It is good to place heavy running wheels or other cage components on a platform. Vines can also be used to secure some things. Placing a heavy object on the ground cover can be dangerous. The hamsters can dig under the object until they reach the bottom and get stuck.
