Best Gerbil Cage (Gerbilarium) for 2022

If you have the room to spare, it’s always best to go with a slightly larger gerbilarium, and 30 to 40 gallons of tank is always a great way to give a pair of gerbils plenty of room to explore!

This Small Marrakesh Pet Terrarium is anything but dinky thanks to a 31-gallon capacity and uses a combination of high-quality wood and glass for a modern style that blends in with your home decor effortlessly.

A practical Servo Lift lid on the enclosure makes access to the roof of your gerbils a simple task when it comes to feeding and cleaning, while aluminium mesh panels on the backside ensure plenty of ventilation.

You could possibly house three gerbils inside here, but there won’t be much extra room and so we advise just using it as as a roomy mansion for a little digging duo!

And with a 92cm length, there’s plenty of burrowing and digging to be done in this tip-top tank!

The premium gerbilarium on the market, the Qute hamster and gerbil cage not only provides an innovative space to house your little pipsqueaks in, it also does it with a style and aesthetic that could rival most contemporary furniture pieces.

Coming in either a white, walnut or birch style cabinet, the Qute compliments your home and yet still provides a high-quality, clear burrowing tray and wire mesh cage combo to securely house your gerbil pals!

The burrowing tray sits below the wire cage top, and the two are separated by a solid, clear plastic flooring, with a raised grid surface design that provides grip without sacrificing comfort for your rodent’s ickle feet. A section of mesh either side also offers up plenty of ventilation and allows for bedding or debris to fall into the burrowing tray with ease.

Your gerbils can move from bedding tray to top floor thanks to an innovative patented play tube named the Lift ‘n’ Twist. This piece of ingenious design uses a lift and twist to lock feature (hence the name) meaning you can cut off your gerbils access to their bedding area quickly and easily – making removing and cleaning the bedding tray a doddle!

The living area also boasts one of the safest wire cages out there, with secure locks that prevent escape and even more crucially, protect them from any other household pets you may have!

It’s practically paradise for your pet!

Savic is one of the finest and most respected brands when it comes to making hamster cages, and so it’s no surprise that their gerbilarium is of equal if not superior standing.

A large, plexiglass basin provides a superb height and width to be filled with soft bedding that they can burrow into allowing your gerbils to dig, hide and build nests in.

This is then topped with a secure wire mesh frame to place your included water bottle, feeding bowl and laddered platform, with the wire itself being an enticing structure for your gerbils to climb up and explore without risking their safety!

A naturally stimulating environment that’s easy to assemble and clean, it’s the complete gerbil homing solution!

Although it’s name of Savoy was probably suggested with tongue firmly in cheek, this gerbilarium from Little Friends still manages to bring all the class and luxury you’d want for your wee pet’s home.

To help simulate your gerbil’s natural habitat, it first provides you with a deep, glass bedding structure, allowing for plenty of space for burrowing and hiding! Glass structures such as this are also completely chew proof, so there’s no need to worry about damage or a gerbil conducting an improbable escape!

A sleek modern design, Little Friend’s model also has plenty going for it in the upper floor wire cage area, which supplies you with all the accessories you’ll need to keep your gerbils healthy and happy.

Two shelves connected by ladders create a multi-floor system, perfect for helping gerbils explore their living space, while a cute, chic little house provides a practical but aesthetically fun area for nesting behaviours and sleeping.

It’s easily one of the better-looking cages available and with a wheel and food bowls included, something tells us your gerbils will be hoping to make their stay at the Savoy a little more permanent should you give them a taste of it!

Cleaning up your gerbilarium is one of your biggest responsibilities as an owner and so it’s important to have a small carrier or handy second home to temporarily place them in while you clean up!

This abode from Rosewood is too small to be their permanent base, but if you need to take your little ones to the vet or need to give their main home a deep clean, it’s ideal!

Stylish and escape-proof, it’s easy to assemble at a moments notice, as it is merely made up of two parts – the bedding base… and a lid! This also makes it a lot easier to clean once you’re finished with it.

In terms of accessories, everything your gerbils need is held within the lid, and sit on top of your bedding-filled base.

These include your essentials such as a drop-in water bottle on the roof and a metal dish for filling with food but there are also some pleasing contemporary design features too.

Although this home provides a mammoth area for burrowing and exploring, remember, it is only for temporary use.

Don’t place more than two gerbils in it at any time, and never for long periods.

An aquarium… for a gerbil?

While it might sound strange purchasing large glass terrariums or aquariums for your little diggers, these kind of structures are often the only enclosures big enough to safely and securely accommodate three or more gerbils.

If you plan on being a gerbil daddy or mummy to a large brood (or want to add a few more furry faces to a well-established pair), you’ll want to think about creating your own DIY gerbilarium, as most purpose-built designs on the market are just unfortunately not big enough!

This range of Diversa Aquariums is absolutely perfect, as they provide you with extremely large spaces with gallon sizes of 40 – 65! (200-300L).

Bear in mind this can get expensive though with the particularly large aquariums, which you’ll then to have to construct your own lids for! Make sure any lid you add to an aquarium like this provides plenty of ventilation, as unlike purpose-made gerbilariums, there won’t be any ventilation panels!

We recommend picking the 200L tank or higher for two or three gerbils, and the biggest 300L size can easily hold up to 5!

If buying for a pair – please don’t purchase any lower than the 112L tank, as these models are far too small

Glass tank gerbilarium’s are undoubtedly one of the best options for your furry friends, as they provide unparalleled safety, comfort and space, while also giving you a great view of your gerbils!

So for those who have the room to spare, this large Innovative Glass Terrarium from Falco is definitely a fantastic home for your little pets, as it’s humongous 75 x 45 x 62 cm size makes it the largest and most spacious gerbilarium on the market.

Pleasingly, the majority of this space is taken up by the structure’s deep glass base, which is so large you might have trouble ever spotting your gerbils as they burrow and dig their way to China (presumably)! It’s large height also protects against substrate and bedding potentially being thrown out the gaps of the wire mesh cage topping, something which occurs frequently with shorter models.

There’s also plenty here to keep your gerbils entertained. Made of birch and plywood, the cage provides you with various accessories, including two levelled platforms and two ramps to give your gerbils an area to climb and explore.

For nesting purposes, there’s also an adorable red-roofed house for your gerbils to call home, which can be placed on top of the bedding area so they can hide and sleep inside.

The wire cage topping is also easily detachable thanks to the clip-on chrome handles, meaning you can remove it and replace it without trouble whenever the time for cleaning comes around.

All in all it’s a fail-safe purchase, because when it comes to gerbilariums, biggest is always best!
