My
gerbies got 4 houses (two "double-decker"). Two houses are
mainly used to sleep in, one is for food only.
They use it just like a hamster and collect all the food in there, they
don't eat immediately!
Therefore the chinchilla-sand (I use it because it doesn't get that wet and smelly as normal bird-sand etc.) has to be removed every day.
That's quite expensive, but absolutely worth it, I believe.
For another sand bath on top of another nest-box I use normal bird-sand, because they love to gnaw on the small shell pieces which are a part of the sand I use!
Doesn't it look messy ;o) ?!?
There
are lots of tunnels built between and with several wooden tubes, toilet
paper rolls, stones and other stuff.
The litter is a mixture out of different wooden shavings, hay, straw,
sand, corn cob mix and lots of other shredded things such as kitchen paper
rolls, dry dandelion etc. Of course my gerbies mix it themselves...!
Funny, isn't it?
I'm
still planning to add a second level but I'm not really sure how to realize
my ideas up to now.
I'd really love to add a 'moveable' glass-level, but it doesn't seem to
be that easy I thought it would be... =-(
