GERBIL TOYS: EXERCISING YOUR PET

Cute. Furry. Adorable. These are three great words to describe your pet gerbil. These fuzzy little creatures are playful and active, making our lives all the more joyful. However, they need a way to exert all of the extra energy they have store inside of their tiny little bodies. A great solution to this problem – gerbil toys!

Great Gerbil Toys You Should Buy

Exercise Wheel – It is always best to stick with the classics. An exercise wheel will provide your furry friend with their own personal treadmill. It’s not uncommon to find one on it multiple times a day.

However, you should be very careful when choosing the right exercise wheel. Metal bars can cause accidents, and you do not want your pet’s little legs or tail getting caught in them. Make sure the wheel has either a metal screen or is made of plastic.

Plastic Balls – Give your pet gerbil the freedom they deserve. A plastic ball that they can run around in will give your gerbil the chance to roam just about anywhere in your home. The best part is that it keeps them safe throughout their whole journey.

There are few important points you should remember about plastic balls:

• First, you should ease your gerbil into the ball. Everything new and exciting can be scary at first. So put the ball into their cage so they can get familiar with it.
• Second, make sure the entrance to the ball is closed tight when they are inside. Use masking tape if you have to. This prevents them from falling out.
• Lastly, allow them only 15 minutes of play time. The ball can get stuffy, and if you leave them in there too long they will run the risk of overheating.

Tubes – By nature, gerbils love to build and dig tunnels to roam around in. You can buy a cage with tubes in it. They will climb, crawl, and endlessly navigate their way through the maze of tubes. This will definitely provide them with endless amounts of fun.
