I've got a cople of gerbils. Cages are fairly cheap. I suggest you get them glass cages as the plastic ones you normally get for hamsters etc wont last long as they constantly like to chew stuff. From a pet shop I got 2 gerbils, a glass cage, 2 bowels (water/food) bedding, food some, treats, a little hut for them to hide in and some other bits and bobs for a total of ?65 which wasnt too bad as the gerbils themsevles cost ?9 |

I got a new gerbilarium from Pets at Home for the other day as the lid of the first glass one I had fell to bits.
The new one is much better and cost ?40 and includes a water bottle, food bowl and the plastic tunnel you can see in the pic. It has a deep plastic tank with a cage that attaches to the top which has two levels. The gerbils love it. Pets at Home also throw in a free starter pack which has guide to looking after gerbils, some bedding, food and a few other bits and bobs.

I will try and establish what sex the gerbil pups are tomorrow or Monday and get back to you. I want to keep 2 (one male, one female) so I can separate the breeding pair. It will then depend on what sex the remaining gerbils are as Alex and Hannah have also expressed an interest. There are only 6 pups altogether. |

It's really hard to tell the boys from the girls as some of them are quite fluffy! I think there are 2 boys and 4 girls but I'm going to take them to the pet shop on Weds to be a bit more sure. I don't want anyone getting any unexpected Christmas presents!! |

I got it wrong. We have 3 boys and 3 girls which means I have a pair of boys and a pair of girls who are free to a good home.

You'd do better to ring The Power (grrr) as he doesn't appear to have been on the site for a few days.
Probably busy with work or something.

Top for Alex. The tank above is what I was trying to describe earlier. |
