    weird " story " Me and my mother were playing with my two gerbils on a small table with their toys,
    but then the small one jumped off the table- so then the bigger one jumped off the table and they were crawling around my apartment for a long time.
    it was really weird, but i like how they follow eachothers footsteps!

    My gerbil Shawn and Max is cute Dwag gerbils. Shawn is the mean one and Max is lay back one. Max stash all his food, I had noticed that every time full his bowl 🥣 it be empty in the same day till I found out that he's burying all his food under his bedroom.🤔 Shawn had beat Max up one day and bit him on his butt. I was so mad at him immediately kicked him out of the house 🏡 and put him in a separate container. I feel guilty after I had calmed down and went and got him a bigger container. I wanted to take Max to the vet but they was charging $100 just to be sent so I nursed them at home and he got well and I just fixed up there little house for the holidays and it looks very pretty and neat for now 😆 like the video, love your three gerbils ❤️ Happy holidays ❄️☃️🎄🎁

It's the Savic gerbilarium XL, measuring 70 x 37 x 51 cm (L x W x H) ...it fits with recommend sizes I've found online, however I'm not sure with the top half being a cage would this change anything? I'm going to take out all the bar platforms and replace with wooden ones. Any advice much appreciated. I can't get a glass tank at the moment.

    first of all, I would like to say that I LOVE your videos, they have really helped me get good information that I need, you always seem to have the exact information that I am looking for (: and I have a question for you, where did you get three compatible gerbils? did you adopt? buy? find?
    I was just wondering, because I have fallen down the rabbit hole (no pun intended) of trying to find a place to adopt three gerbils that can be in an enclosure together.
    P.S. all of your animals are really cute, and I think that you take the best care of them!

    Incidentally I have 2 Gerbils now, and I swear one of them has a rubbish sense of smell! If he drops a seed he can't find it until and if his nose gets on top of it! lol. I think you could be right after all, at least with some :).
