I was thinking of making this new tank a sand tank (say, 2 inches of sand) so they'll have this big sand bath to have fun in. My question is - will they make it their toilet? Probably, but hey, it's worth a shot, right? Sounds like a lot of gerbil fun! how often will I have to change the sand? Very often if they use it as a toilet as sand does not absorb liquid. I have had a dirt tunneling tank in the past that was pretty successful, although a little more work. Let me know if you are interested in details. Molly
