Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We have had our gerbils about 3 weeks, and have tried several different habitats. The small starter cage from the pet store was way too small, and too messy as the little guys would dig and throw the bedding all over the floor. This drove me crazy. They also chewed up the plastic ramps. Then, we tried 2 different tall plastic bins with a piece of screen over the top. We weren't happy with that either, as we couldn't interact with the gerbils at all. They are BIG jumpers, so if we took off the screen to interact with them, they would jump straight out of the bin, and it was the tallest bin we could find! So, this product was the solution and we are so happy with it. I found the 10 gallon fish tank at a super store for only 10 bucks. Great deal. I agree, the little platforms are a little hard to put in, and I had to push a little to get them to work right, but still well worth the money. Mine seems very stable, and I don't feel the need for zip ties as other users have. The small blue dish and the blue wheel are from the other cage we had. I was happy to see that the wheel would work with this cage as well.
