What are his Gerbil toys?

Well, we think that these are things that the Gerbils enjoy in one way or another. Take for example a toy made of straw to sink their teeth into and destroy. It may sound a bit strange to buy something that is going to be destroyed, but the animals need something like that too. During the destruction, the teeth are flossed and sharpened and of course it prevents boredom and therefore problem behavior!

The objective is particularly important when choosing toys. For example, one toy has training as its objective. These are the intelligence toys, where the animals have to search for treats. These toys ensure that the animals are mentally challenged and do not get bored. The reward after finding the treat gives a great positive stimulus and makes the animals happy.

1. Digging and tunneling toys: Gerbils love to dig and tunnel. Provide them with digging toys such as sandboxes or deep bowls filled with chinchilla sand that they can dig and tunnel in.

2. Hiding Places: Provide hiding places where gerbils can feel safe, such as small houses, coconuts, or tubes they can crawl into.

3. Chew Toys: Gerbils love to chew, so give them toys that are safe to chew on, such as wooden blocks, willow branches, or unpainted cardboard tubes. This will also help wear down their teeth.

4. Exercise wheels: An exercise wheel is an essential toy for gerbils. We have a separate category for these, where you will find all the exercise wheels that are suitable for gerbils.

As we mentioned before, there are also "demolition toys", which we simply need too!

TIP! Willow balls are super fun! Take a willow ball, hide some pumpkin seeds in it and let the Gerbils struggle to get the pumpkin seeds out.

There are also toys that can be placed in the enclosure occasionally, such as a maze for example.
