I went to PetsMart to buy rabbit food today and saw some Crittertrail cage displays.
I've been wanting a more entertaining setup than the 10 gallon tank for my Duncan, so I ended up buying the CritterTrail 3. It's a really cool cage. It's very tall and it's mostly wire. There's a feeding/petting area on top and tubes to get to 3 different side shelves, a wheel, ... and the option of adding more tubes to it. I thought that Habitrail type cages weren't for gerbils, but just for hamsters, but this one said gerbils right on the box. I think that once Duncan gets over her anxiety over being in a new cage she's going to love it. She seems to be roaming around a lot and she won't climb any of the tubes. Is she going to be ok? I get the impression that she might be a little anxious. Can I leave her in the new cage or should I put her back in her old cage for a while to relieve her seeming anxiety. BTW, the cage cost $39.99. There is a Crittertrail 1, which is much shorter for $16.99 and a Crittertrail 2 for $29.99. It's about 2/3 the height of number 3. I was originally going to buy 2 Crittertrail 1s and hook them together with tubes, but they only had one of those, so I bought the 3 instead and I think I'm going to hook another smaller cage to that so she has more places to go. I'm very excited about my purchase. Regards, Sharon PS. Is there a list on the net of which veggie a gerbil can eat? I want to print it up and post it on my wall for easy reference. Thanks
