TERRIBLE

By Charley101

from Hampshire. UK on 19/3/2012

Cons:

Not Durable, Plastic parts, Too small, Unsuitable

Best Uses:

Travel

Describe Yourself:

Long-time Pet Owner

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Please dont buy this cage for your gerbil! It is terrible. Gerbils should not be allowed to chew on plastic so the ramps are completely unsuitable. You would be much better off buying the 30" clear seal fish tank and making a homemade lid or buying the [$] gerbilarium and removing the plastic tube. It is also very expnsive for you what yoy get. I don't know why pets at home are selling it.

Way Too Small!

By GerbilLover

from England on 14/2/2012

Cons:

Gerbils CHEW plastic, No space for wheel, Not Durable, Not much ventilation, Tiny, Too small

Best Uses:

Travel

Describe Yourself:

Long-time Pet Owner

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is WAY TOO SMALL for even one gerbil. Gerbils live happiest in pairs, meaning this cage is just not a kind enviroment to keep your pets in.
The material it is made of is plastic, and plastic is very unsuitable for gerbils because they chew and chew! My gerbils chewed the stairs up completely within a few weeks of purchase.
This meant they could not reach the waterbottle.
There is virtually no proper ventilation.
There is not much space for a wheel, and gerbils need that daily exercise, the time they choose.
Buy a glass aquarium instead, this way you can find a bigger size and give them a happier, more fulfilled life.

didnt last long!

By becky from kent on 3/1/2012

Cons:

Tough To Set Up

Best Uses:

Smaller Pets

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

thought this cage looked easy in everyway so I bought it, the ramps are a pain and they snapped part of the plastic which end up making the other plastic part to snap due to weight of metal, now in need of new cage after only a couple of months of use, not good for [$]!!

Too small and NOT SUITED for gerbils

By kisaky33 from England on 26/12/2011

Cons:

Bad materials, Not Durable, Not Much Fun, Not suited for gerbils, Too small, Tough To Set Up

Describe Yourself:

Long-time Pet Owner

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This product is definitely NOT SUITED for gerbils. For one, it is far too small and gerbils need quite a lot of space because they are active, energetic creatures.
Also on the picture displayed, there is only one gerbil in the cage. Gerbils HAVE to live in pairs otherwise they become extremely lonely and they die of depression.
Finally, the material is plastic. My gerbils chewed right through it until they had actually broken it. So I had to go out and buy a 20 gallon 'gerbil tank', which they are living in today and love.
I would definitely NOT recommend you buy it; please consider the other options available.

NOT a good buy!

By Loopy82

from Milton Keynes on 25/10/2011

Pros:

Stylish

Cons:

Not Durable, Not Much Fun, Small

Best Uses:

Smaller Pets

Describe Yourself:

Long-time Pet Owner

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought this gerbilarium on an impulse to replace the glass tank my two gerbils were in. I really wish I hadn't! For starters the tank is flimsy to put together and a couple of the little plastic parts snapped. The water bottle is cheap and leaks unless you get it perfectly level. The ladders are too slippery and my gerbils have to jump. They have taken to chewing around the top where the door is and I'm pretty sure that it won't be long before they escape. Also it's hard to get any toys in due to the platforms. They do love digging in there though. Bottom line...don't buy it! It is not worth the extortionate price!

May be not tough enough

By Emma

from Haverhill, Suffolk on 9/10/2011

Pros:

Looks good

Cons:

Not Durable, Tough To Set Up

Best Uses:

Hamsters, Smaller Pets

Describe Yourself:

Long-time Pet Owner

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Bought it for hamsters. Suitable to make a deep bedding. Quite tricky to fit together and like other reviews the lugs for the large metal ladder broke off the first time I put it together this is a worry as they need access to the upper levels as the water bottle is high up. Better than a cage though as the bedding does not get kicked outside the enclosure.

rubbish

By soph from stoke on trent on 8/10/2011

Describe Yourself:

Long-time Pet Owner

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This cage is not worth the money, the first week my gerbil chewed the lock and nearly escaped, so i had to take one of the platforms out which gave the gerbils less to do. The ladders are far to slippy, and my gerbils jump on instead. way to small can barely move and put toys in there. I also noticed that they push the food bowl up and down as it is to close to them when they are sleeping, and the water bottle do not always allow water to come out as the ball sticks. Not worth the money!

Too small for a gerbil! it WILL be chewe

By Gerbil owner for 12 years

from United Kingdom on 13/8/2011

Pros:

Digging area

Cons:

Easily chewed, Expensive, Not Durable, Small

Best Uses:

Smaller Pets, Travel

Describe Yourself:

Long-time Pet Owner

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This "tank" is not any good for gerbils, they WILL chew it because that's what gerbils do! Gerbils get bigger with age, even after they've grown from a baby to an adult and this just isn't suitable. Probably more suitable for a russian dwarf hamster, certainy NOT a gerbil. Plus the price is absurd, you can get a much larger cage for half that price. Anyone who thinks this product is suitable for gerbils or hamsters obviously has no clue on how to look after animals. Perhaps if this cage were bigger and the ladders were made of metal, it would be good.
