Surely their must be a lid he isn't showing? ......yes, look at th-cam.com/video/mR4Be6oDPt0/w-d-xo.html , those little bolts are in the down position.
It is an awesome cage. Those gerbils look extremely well cared for and in good health. If I were a gerbil would want to be in that cage rather than at Petco, unless it is Petco Park.
very nice. I've never seen a gerbil habitat so much like the natural wild places where they would live. I think people forget that they were wild first, domesticated second.
HI! Fantastic expanse and young gerbils, so I'm guessing everything is new? I would love it if you showed us a current video of the habitat and the same gerbils so we can all see how they have grown and how the setup held up? Is that just he wall as the background? Everything looks new and not chewed yet. I love idea. I"m just wondering how practical it is. Thanks for sharing.
Ok, so I am watching this video and wondering to myself what is keeping them in and not climbing over the edge. I remember having gerbils as a kid and they were always getting out.......
I had two in a pretty big (self made) cage, which we built on top of a table. We had to put higher plexiglass on it and they still managed to jump about 40-50 cm. high...and then they fell probably 1-1,5 m to the floor...
That's amazing. I need to build an enclosure like that. I also want to get another gerbil to introduce to mine. I didn't realise they were pack animals but I worry that because he's been on his own for so long he won't react well with others now. But a big enclosure like that, you could separate sections off and slowly introduce them. Presumably when cleaning time comes you'd just do it a section at a time. Like every month do a different section, or something like that.
So many cardboard tubes! My little Spitfire would love this, he may have tantrums and be partially blind but he still loves cardboard tubes more than any other gerbil! Even shy Hurricane loves them, but he tends to shy away as his brother fights him if he tries to take the tube! Definitely brothers!
Wow the slinky is genius. I've been trying to come up with simple ways to get my gerbils up to a second floor if I was to build one. But the slinky idea is perfect. It's simple easy and cheap. Plus iits metal so those destructive little teeth don't ruin their own fun. Lol
Hello, I have a question, in the holes you have some kind of clay (0:27 minute) what is it exacly ? i am making the same cage for my mouse, and i want to do the holes in the same way as you. Thank you!
Nice cage! We are also making a large cage in a wooden closet and i wanted to ask you; the holes in the wood, you finished them with some sort of clay, what material did you use?
Love the size of the cage for this little guys. Plenty of enviromental enrichment for them. But is the slinky -like tube not dangerous for them as they might get there paws caught.
Excellent cage ! I wouldn't mind living in there. I have the extra large and large Savic gerbilarium from Pets at Home that I use for my two girls.I have put the cages next to each other and they can go between both of them.I am getting another of the larger ones to give them more room.I feel that the large which is recommended for 2 is only big enough for 1 - and you wouldn't keep 1 gerbil unless 1 of them die - and the larger of the cages only big enough for 2 gerbils not 3 to 4 as they recommend.They recommend the bare minimum.
Hey there. Could you please give me some info about some stuff inside that cage? I have a big tank for my 2 gerbils (i like giving them lots of space) and I'm really interested in these: What kind of bedding is that one you're using? It looks diferent from most i've seen. How did you make all the little wooden houses? I see they are all made of the same kind of wood as those little "logs" they chew on. What did you use on the holes conecting all the diferent enviroments and the spring? It look slike clay but I'm not sure Thanks a lot!
Your cage is amazing, we are in the process of buying some units to make a similar cage, then we will buy some gerbils. I love the spring, though I can't find it on that website, maybe they stopped selling it now. Can I ask, what type of clay or material it is you used to cover round the holes youve drilled in the back of the cage for the gerbils to go from one unit to another. Please post more videos, I love watching your gerbils in action.
Normal bin cages and such shit should be banished. I have an Ikea Detolf for my hamster. It cost LESS than a bin cage that wasn't even half the size of the Detolf... Your gerbils have a real paradise for a home!
How awesome it is to be a gerbil in your home. I wish they all had such a wonderful place to live. Nice work. One question: How do the doors work to keep them in? I haven't been able to figure out how you secure the doors to the front of the book shelf.
This looks awesome my only concern would be Ikea furniture is typically made of particle or mush board type material and wouldn't hold up to any moisture so would be very difficult to sanitize. Other wise I think this is an awesome set-up and I am sure they are very happy with there home.
Fasinating! I'm planning to give my new gerbils a tank somewhat like that and make it look like the wild. I really don't like the cage set-ups that are pet store like. Your gerbils are so spoiled... in a good way :)
Lo Brov no all the walls are Straight so Even if they wanted to they simply cant get to it with their teeth. But they did bite a litle in the plexiglass, but they got tired of it Kvickly:)
No hate whatsoever by this comment I'm genuinely just curious as I recently adopted my first gerbil! Arent they meant to have more burrowing materials so they can build tunnels etc?? Everywhere I read and watch it states you need tons of bedding for them to burrow! I want to get this cage as it's really nice but I worry I won't have enough space for both the bedding and play area!! Thank you for reading, your home that you have created is absolutely gorgeous
that is really nice, but at night or when you are gone do they stay on the cage they don`t jump or something like that, or there is a door you close so they don`t go please answer
Where did you get the spring for them climbing in the different levels? And by ikea do you mean you built if from all the supplies from ikea or do they sell everything you have. (Never been to an ikea) great work tho!
Awesome cage, I wanted to ask about the two storey house you have is that the smaller size or the bigger one? Any chance you know or even if you could give me the dimentions. I want to order one for my gerbils but it says the smaller one is for dwarf hamsters and I am a bit worried that the gerbils will not fit through the doors.
wow. love it! Great idea about the coconut huts..may try that for my hamster. You have givin me alot of ideas to make my hamsters Ikea detolf better :)
Can or do the gerbils climb over the side of the "tank"? I know fancy mice will not climb out of something like your gerbil housing, but I didn't know gerbil would stay in there. P.S. Nice setup!!!!
This is a brilliant enclosure! I love the more natural look.
do they ever try escaping the short walls?
Surely their must be a lid he isn't showing? ......yes, look at th-cam.com/video/mR4Be6oDPt0/w-d-xo.html , those little bolts are in the down position.
Best gerbils cage ever take them all from that abusive petsmart and petco please!!!!!!!
It is an awesome cage. Those gerbils look extremely well cared for and in good health. If I were a gerbil would want to be in that cage rather than at Petco, unless it is Petco Park.
Well even if you want to take them all form those places your supporting hem and they can get more
Don't buy animals from pet stores please, even to rescue them... they will just replace them with more.
with you, i like being a gerbil
very nice. I've never seen a gerbil habitat so much like the natural wild places where they would live. I think people forget that they were wild first, domesticated second.
wasn't every single pet wild first before they were domesticated? Weren't we wild first, living out there then built tiny modern homes to live in?
@@violethaye6987 you're definitely right

There are doors that can be removed.
With an enclosure like this, who would want to escape?
It's the cleanest and most complete cage I've seen. Bravo to you, and thank you for them.
Thats a really nice place for them to live, sure beats a crappy little cage.
Wow! AMAZING setup! I imagine they are super happy. ;-) Please let me know where you got those wood houses and hanging coconuts; they are adorable!
That's amazing. I need to build an enclosure like that. I also want to get another gerbil to introduce to mine.

I like the natural toys and bedding and the use of a slinky as a tunnel! Great cage, have fun cleaning it though!!!! ;)
what a wonderfull home! You have inspired me to start owning gerbils! I have mine in an ikea detolf.
You must LOVE you gerbils! that thing huge!!!! GREAT JOB BUILDING IT

I love the amount of space you've given them! Lucky gerbils :)
lots of room and toys for enrichment! very well done!

I have a question, in the holes you have some kind of clay (0:27 minute) what is it exacly ? i am making the same cage for my mouse, and i want to do the holes in the same way as you. Thank you!
you created a great and perfect habitat for them! animals in captivity they deserve that.

Wow, it looks like a wonderful cage (from the animal's perspective).. What is the cleaning (and smell) like with this particular design?

+lucielly Lieven Looks like aspen bedding? Or something more shredded/softer.
OMG I wish my gerbils looked that happy your cage is AWESOME!!
I made a smaller one over 25 years ago. mine was nowhere near as good. What a great design. I bet they feel happy.
Don't they climb over the glass??
Mineshatter
completely wrong... They have no depth perception and do not know better. They could easily jump over the wall and probably do.
Yeh that's what I thought. If I did that with my gerbils they would just jump out for sure.
Mineshatter right :)
They'll jump when you are not watching them. Gerbils tend to do worrisome things when you are not looking :D.
ChickenTeet it looks as though it can be fully enclosed and locked.
Good luck cleaning but that is some spoiled gerbils. You take very good care of them!!
Love this cage setup they looks so happy. 😁👍
We clean our gerils' cage weekly. How do you keep something like this clean without having to take everything out weekly?
Lovely setup. Could you tell me what kind of plant it is in the cage! Do they eat it?
three words. clean up time
+Macy Mcdaniel Haha as a Gerbil Owner I was thinking the very same!
how to clean?
OMG you have the best gerbil cage in the world 😀you+gerbils🐀🐁🐀=very happy gerbils
vary nice job, love the setup
very cool! looks hard to clean though especially the one thats very deep filled with bedding but the cage i love
Im so happy that there are gerbils living in luxury that they deserve, hope ya spoil 'em BADDDDD 😘
do you close the front or you keep it open like that all the time? wouldn't gerbils escape around or jump off? thanks for the answer

should be proud of yourself, looks great and they must be very happy!
the slinky ladder is really smart
LITTLEMUSTANGFILLY ikr
I actually think it might be dangerous because they could get their tail or feet stuck/fall through iy
How awesome it is to be a gerbil in your home. I wish they all had such a wonderful place to live. Nice work.

Very cute! Perfect! Could you tell me what you used to replace the sand and that plant is this? Please! I would use too!😊
Wow, you've build that really nicely
best gerbil habitat I've ever seen!
Brilliant, I could move in there myself!
Fasinating! I'm planning to give my new gerbils a tank somewhat like that and make it look like the wild. I really don't like the cage set-ups that are pet store like. Your gerbils are so spoiled... in a good way :)
I like it but how do you stop them from escaping with suck a short little barrier
cute gerbils love love love the cage theres a mini house
Have you had an issues with them chewing through the wood of the cage and escaping?
Lo Brov no all the walls are Straight so Even if they wanted to they simply cant get to it with their teeth. But they did bite a litle in the plexiglass, but they got tired of it Kvickly:)
Thats a really nice place for them to live i BET ur taking good care of them.
Oh my gosh the cage is perfect ! A paradise for your gerbils :)
Is it a detolf glass cabinet? It doesn't look like tho.
No hate whatsoever by this comment I'm genuinely just curious as I recently adopted my first gerbil! Arent they meant to have more burrowing materials so they can build tunnels etc??

How might i ask... do you change their bedding??
that looks like a very tedious process
Wow great! Little gerbil's paradise :) I am sure they are happy there :) how often do you clean the whole cage and how you do it? :)
Mit was hast du die Übergänge der Ebenen gesichert? Sieht nach Ton aus?
Wich size expedit you have used?
I wanted to make something like this too, but this cage look so much bigger than what i wanna make!
that is really nice, but at night or when you are gone do they stay on the cage they don`t jump or something like that, or there is a door you close so they don`t go please answer
Pretty sure there was a sliding glass panel he lifted down for the video
How do you clean it? And how often?
0:35 the spring they use to get to the lower level can cause bumble foot think an alternative method might need to be put in place
It can also catch the gerbils tails.
+Purple Panda Productions So true, other than that the cake is not like a cage more like a gerbil sanctuary.
no there are doors that Closes Down:)
Ohhh ok
Very good setup!!
I know this is an old video but what kind of spring is this called? I have been searching everywhere as love this idea but don't know what it is.
I wish my gerbils could have such a great cage :)
Where did you get the spring for them climbing in the different levels? And by ikea do you mean you built if from all the supplies from ikea or do they sell everything you have. (Never been to an ikea) great work tho!
It's just a slinky if you go out to a kids toy store you will probably find one there
You shouldn't use a slinky. Their tail could get caught and get pulled off.
Awesome cage, I wanted to ask about the two storey house you have is that the smaller size or the bigger one? Any chance you know or even if you could give me the dimentions. I want to order one for my gerbils but it says the smaller one is for dwarf hamsters and I am a bit worried that the gerbils will not fit through the doors.
Wow. But my cats would love this more than the gerbils would. Beautiful cage though.
wow your gerbils are so lucky! for ma birthday my dad is buying materials and i am making a bigger gerbilarium for mine!
How did you make that? Did you buy a certain type of shelf or something
He bought it from a store called Ikea
how do you cleaan all this stuff? nice habitat
they're all looking out the cage with their paws on the glass from time to time... Is it the height that scares them from jumping out?
wow. love it! Great idea about the coconut huts..may try that for my hamster. You have givin me alot of ideas to make my hamsters Ikea detolf better :)
How did you fix the Plexi-glass to the wood?
really cool vid and what an amazing gerbil cage!
best gerbil cage I've ever seen!! I'm really jealous!
i have a question, when your cleaning out the cage where do you put the hamsters?
Hi. This cage is awesome! Wowo. Is the mouse does not go beyond the cage? Are not there glass at the front
I imagine there is a door, and they are gerbils
How much was this gerbil cage?
Where did you get that slinky springy tubey thing???
Alles sieht ja herrlich aus, prima. keine Musik zu ertragen, gut gemacht! - it looks great, so nice there is no annoying music too!
Do they detroy the things through chewing?
idk idk Gerbils nibble on wood and cardboard to keep their teeth short. Thats why there’s so many cardboard tubes in the enclosure.
that is such a lovely home
Those are some happy Babies! Incredible Work on the Cage! Is it always open?
Where do sticks come from? did you found them? thay look cool!
That is simply amazing! *-* My little Fiocco & Ciuffino would like a vacation in there! :D
that cage is so awesome lots of room to run about and hide!!! :)
And what about cleaning ? XD
Guma Martin LOL
Some people really love their pets! I wish I had gerbils... Anyway keep up the great work :)
We have a gerbilarium, and both of our gerbils looked like the first two that appeared!
can they climb over the glass?
wonderful. 🖤
I am going to make a similar version with the ikea expedit (2x2) and I also wanted to know what type of plant is that
Can or do the gerbils climb over the side of the "tank"? I know fancy mice will not climb out of something like your gerbil housing, but I didn't know gerbil would stay in there. P.S. Nice setup!!!!
La meilleure cage à gerbille du monde😱😍😍😍
If I was a gerbil, I would LOVE this place!! :)
