Wheels are a great addition to your gerbils cage. They are a favorite toy of many gerbils, and allow the gerbils to exercise inside their enclosures. Wheels provide ample exercise, and strongly help keep gerbils in shape. They should be AT LEAST 6 inches long, as smaller wheels cause back and spinal problems, and will be hard to run in. You often times have to try out different brands and sizes to find the one that suits your gerbils.
I personally like 7-8 inch mesh wheels, but some gerbils are different than others. Please note that not all gerbils use wheels. Some just don't care for them. Usually pups don't use them, but they grow into them when they become adults. |
