Gerbil cage setup ON A BUDGET

Tips and tricks to help keep costs down when setting up a gerbil tank. For more cost saving ideas, check out the gerbil DIYs playlist:    • Gerbil DIYs - make stuff for your ger...  

PLEASE NOTE: bin cages are not suitable as permanent homes due to the chew out risk & then not meeting the minimum 100x50x50cm enclosure size for gerbils. But they can make great temporary homes!
