Does anyone use the plastic storage containers as housing for gerbils, and if
so, how do you like them? I'm talking the ones that are translucent with
totally smooth bottoms and sides ... so no ledges for gerbils to chew on and
thus get out of the container. Of course one would have to make a wire lid
for the container for ventilation.
The only thing I can think of is because gerbils dig, they may scratch into
the sides/corners enough to be able to make headway with their teeth.
The advantage of such housing is it is so much lighter than aquariums, and
just as easy, or easier, to clean.
I ask this because I'm planning to get a new breeding pair of gerbils
hopefully in a few days and would like to go the storage container route if
it is a practical housing for gerbils.
Thanks for any input,
Emily
