Another Gerbil Cage Question
Hello everyone,
I have a 3 year old daughter that I would like to gently introduce to the world of pets along with the responsibility it brings (she absolutely loves animals...anything from slugs to elephants).
I am already resigned to the fact that I will be fully responsible for the care of whatwe get and honestly I think I am more excited by my daughter!
I have done a lot of research online about the most suitable animals to start with and have settled on a pair of gerbils. Basically all guides agree on everything but I see a lot of different opinions about the best type of cage.
I didn't want to ask in pets at home (I am in the UK) as I thought they would just sell me whatever they needed to shift that month without much thought.
So... is the large gerbilarium from pets at home suitable?
Approximate Dimensions: 56 x 70 x 37cm.
It has a plastic tank with a wire topper. I can't seem to link the product (probably due to forum advertising issues).
Please could you give me some pointers? I understand the wire bars may not be great for gerbil's teeth/feet.
What do you all recommend?
Thank you in advance,
Edd.
