Hi,
I think that is a great idea about the aquarium! Many people do keep their
gerbils in 10 gallon aquariums, and as long as they have enough things to
play in and chew, they seem to be happy. However, I have been able to get
larger ones (about 60 gallons), and my gerbils eagerly get used to the
larger space. When I've put them in smaller, 10 gallon aquariums, they can
definitely tell that it is smaller than their usual home, and let me know
that they are unhappy about it!
Of course, larger aquaqriums are *much* more expensive so they can be
difficult to buy... I was lucky and bought mine (used) from a friend. There
are other ways of giving your friends more space, such as linking two or
more small aquariums with tubes or a cage overtop... I have tried this and
it does work, but it involves much more work than having one large one.
Anyways, thundregon (and others), I hope you enjoy your new friends =)
