What is the best housing for gerbils?
In our opinion, if you only have a pair of gerbils, breeding or non-breeding, one of better and least expensive forms of housing is a simple ten gallon aquarium. In fact, you can often buy aquariums with small animal lids, water bottles, bedding, food, and a wheel. This is perfectly a perfectly fine arrangement, but you must cover the wheel if it is an open hamster wheel (to be discussed later.) This is our prefered form of housing.
