I know a lot of people dont like the SAM things but i
do for the most part. I have a pair of males (Kenu and
Slate) in a large SAM cage that has tubes all over it
and connects to a smaller kritter keeper. They both
really love it and are always in the tubes. it does
take them a while to get used to the tubes but they
will learn to love it. The bad thing i have experanced
about SAM cages are htat they are a real pain in the
@## to clean! it takes over twice as long and the
tubes are a pain. But i gesss it would not be as bad
for you because you just have a top. In my situition i
have all the tubes plus 2 tanks and all the little
connector things. Godd luck and I think your gerbs
would really like it once they get used to the tubes.
Maybe if you put them in the tubes at the top where it
curves so that they have to go down it it would help.
