Bedding


To keep your fat tailed gerbils clean you should provide the cage with a nice layer of litter. Meanwhile there are lots of different litters available and you should really try out what works best for you. Our cage is covered with a 2-4 inch thick layer of litter because the fat tailed gerbils just love to dig and rearrange their cage. Additionaly you can provide them with some kind of nesting material or just simple torn up toilette paper. On the picture you can see one of the favorite hiding spots of our fat tailed gerbils. It was bought as a "toy bridge" but what do they know about bridges!!! Anyway it is always fun to watch them build, dig and rearrange everything.
