New Gerbilarium Setup

My good old Screamyx is down this evening. Being bored, I walked out to my living room, looked at my gerbilarium. It’s time to change their bedding.

So off I went, took out the three boys and put them inside a carrier tank filled with bathing sand, let them have a nice sand bath to clean themselves while I’m busy with my cleaning.



I took out all their toys, poured their stinky dirty bedding into a plastic bag to be thrown later. Cleaned the tank, poured new beddings but this time, I put a lot inside the tank just for them to dig until they break their claws (MUAHAHAHA!), put back all the toys and some hay for them to chew. After I’m done with everything, I placed the three boys back to their gerbilarium. Gosh, they enjoy themselves exploring the new setup, digging the thick bedding and chewing non-stop with the hay.



Notice the coconut shell hanging on the left side?





The little ninja starts climbing on it which makes me worried that they’ll chew the cover and escape. Instead of hanging, I took down the coconut and placed it on the bedding.



One thing worries me now, the water bottle seems like it’s too low and the gerbils will chew it sooner or later. The rascals had destroyed 2 to 3 bottles, I have a feeling that the current bottle will be the next victim.

Here’s a short clip on the busybodies exploring their new environment, enjoy!



And how’s my setup? Like it?
