As I said in my assessment, it doesn't last long with a
dedicated gnawer. I tried the setup with gerbils, and
three different kinds of hamsters, and ended up with
put dwarf campbell hamsters in them.
If yours don't gnaw the place up, then it would work
for your gerbils...but. I find it easier to keep gerbils
in aquariums as they are less escape proof.
