<< When breeding gerbils, what is a good nesting box? Currently my pair
sleeps in
a small sized Kleenex box, but that seems too flimsy for a litter; and
depending
on their mood they sometimes gnaw it to bits. I read somewhere that you
could
use a bird nesting box. I found a wooden finch one, 5 inches cube with a lid
that lifts up. The hole is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and about 2 1/2
inches up off the ground.
You don't even need a nest box (and your right, a gerbil would chew it to
peices) I always just give them lots of cardboard & toilt paper, and they
make a nest out of that. :) Hope this helps!
