How big and how many houses do Gerbils need?

Gerbils are group animals . It is therefore important that the house or houses are spacious enough. The animals also like to sleep together. Our advice is to take at least one large house for the Gerbils and in addition one or two smaller houses (depending on the group size). Although Gerbils like to sleep together, they sometimes also want to isolate themselves, for example if there is disagreement in the group. By giving the animals multiple houses it is possible to sleep separately if there is a need for this in the Gerbil group.

Do Gerbils gnaw the houses to pieces?

Gerbils are also real rodents . Although it is not necessary that they immediately gnaw everything to pieces, it is wise to choose wooden materials. This also helps to wear down the teeth. To prevent gerbils from gnawing on the houses, our advice is to give the animals gnawing material , preferably gnawing wood .

Which houses are suitable for Gerbils?

Gerbils are lucky! because many houses that are made for hamsters are also a good size for gerbils. Gerbils are prey animals and do not like to walk around the enclosure in the open. If they occasionally come across a shelter that they can run into, they will feel a lot safer . The best houses for gerbils are multi-room houses . It is important that there is a part in a house that is shielded from daylight. Our advice is therefore to place at least one multi-room house in the enclosure and in addition one house per animal. Gerbils like to sleep together, so at least one house in the enclosure must be large enough to accommodate the entire group.

Are multi-room houses fun for Gerbils?

Yes, definitely! Gerbils love multi-room houses . This has everything to do with the way they live together in the wild. Gerbils dig tunnels in the wild and in this way create entire castles where the group lives together. A multi-room house imitates the different rooms that the animals also have in the wild. We have already said that Gerbils also need separate houses if they want to isolate themselves from each other. A multi-room house also offers this possibility. A multi-room house with three rooms offers space for three animals separately and at least twice as many if they sleep together. Most multi-room houses have a removable roof, so that you can take a look at the Gerbils. This is always useful to check how things are going in the nest.

Are plastic houses suitable for Gerbils?

Yes and no. Gerbils are real rodents , they can quickly gnaw a plastic house to pieces and this can create sharp edges or the animals can ingest pieces of plastic. Although not all Gerbils gnaw on a plastic house, because they sometimes do not like the material, the vast majority of animals do. We therefore recommend wooden houses made of untreated natural wood for Gerbils. In this category we have only selected suitable houses for the Gerbils and we have actually left out plastic houses.

Are grass houses suitable for gerbils?

Yes, very nice and nibbable for the Gerbils! It is true that a grass house will most likely be destroyed by the Gerbils quite quickly, but what fun they will have with this! The LOL they have together nibbling the house apart is reason enough to get one for the animals. While nibbling, the teeth also wear down and the animals even get some fibers.

Are houses made of polyresin suitable for Gerbils?

Yes, houses made of synthetic resin are also suitable for Gerbils. Synthetic resin is a very hard plastic. It is many times harder than plastic and free of toxins. Gerbils generally do not like to gnaw on it because it is annoyingly hard. Of course, there will always be Gerbils who do not shy away from this challenge :)

How should Gerbil Houses be cleaned?

Gerbils are very clean animals. Of all rodent species, Gerbils are among the cleanest animals . They almost never dirty their house. But how does that happen? Most dirt is caused by urine. However, Gerbils are desert animals that are naturally very economical with water and therefore urinate less than other rodent species. As a result, Gerbils hardly stink and the houses therefore remain cleaner. If after a long time a house does start to smell, we recommend a urine spray for wooden houses. This breaks down the urine.
