I find that cheap reddish clay pots, tend to shatter funny, AND chip and crack off too much. I can cut them using a 'ring saw', that cuts stained glass and tile. However, I don't like using stuff like that IN a gerbil's cage, because of the way the pots flake, chip, and crack...and the way gerbils like to gnaw everything. Stick to a small cardboard box. If they chew it, it doesn't matter, and you can get them another one. And put the food right on the bedding, it saves the cost of whatever dish you're using as it will either be gnawed or buried.
