Would it be unreasonable to use this for my gerbils?

Oh, mine also came badly broken. But I bought the same one from a store locally. I would not recommend ordering an aquarium if at all possible. I ordered 3 from 3 different places, all came broken.

No--the door latch is very secure. Enough space in the bottom for bedding. I might worry a little about them not having enough air at the bottom as it is so tall.

I orered one but had to send it back because it came here broken so I am not sure!

I feed it to my gerbils, but I imagine they'd be about the same as hamsters. I mixed just a little in with their other food, and gradually increased the amount of the Oxbow. At first they didn't seem to like it, but I noticed it gradually got eaten. One I ran out of the old stuff, all they got was the Oxbow, and when they got hungry enough, they ate it. They've been getting this over about a year now, and gobble it right up! I don't think any of them will starve to death when there's food available.

The spacing is about 1/3 inch wide~ so I feel it would work fine for a gerbil. Also the bottom 5 inchs is hard plastic. I actually made a balcony in half the cage and a ramp one it~ to give my guinea pig more space, since the cage is so tall.

Hi. This is suggested for large birds, african greys, macaws, dogs, puppies, etc. Thank you!

I did not intend to use these for long-term storage because they are herbals. I do use herbs in my kitchen and pantry cupboards to keep bugs out, but those need to be replaced about every six months.As far as other critters go, well, if you mean mice or rats, I would doubt they would be effective. Seems those little beasties are almost like goats in their dietary choices.

I use it for rabbits and I have a very young littler that can drink from them with no problem. I would think younger mice may have to work at it a little, but you shouldn't have too many issues. God speed!

Not really sure on that, but if you have gerbils they will chew the connections inside the tubes apart so they wontnhold any more. Had to move to a glass tank for mine as they destroyed over $100 worth of these critter trail houses and accessories

Gerbils are small, this is a large size. I use it for my male guinea pug as a hutch. He us a larger male and when i put it in a U shape he fits in it. I think you would need a smaller size to use for gerbils.

No. I use it for guinea pigs, but I think it would be a bit too small for your purposes.

I would think not. The ramps and floors are not very strong. Works well for my gerbils, but they do knock off the ramps often. When washing, the floors fall off easy, although when attached to the tank, they seem to hold up. I do not know how much ferrets weigh, but I am sure they are much heavier than gerbils. The ramps are narrow also. I would look for something made for ferrets. Hope this helps.

Yes. It can be used for birds small to medium, large hamster, rats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and possibly one ferret. Since this cage has so many small doors you will need to get clips to prevent these pets from escaping. I also recommend to protect your pets feet that you use a material such as cotton, fleece or polyester on the ramps and shelves. Too switch it from a bird cage to rodent cage just simply put the grate underneath the plastic tray so you don't hurt their feet. It works for my birds, rats and guinea pig just fine.

Yes. Too small for a pet rat. Works for our gerbils, but would be too tight for anything bigger.

Yes, if they are small. These funnels were purchased for gerbils and they are 9 months old.

Absolutely not. Its okay for hamster or gerbil, but nothing bigger. I have owned a pet hedgehog and the Ware topper would not be the right size set up. It would be too small. Tubes, wheel, and actual cage size would all be too small for a hedgehog. Plus it would be very difficult to provide appropriate heat source. Here are a couple of links that I found helpful: For a great inexpensive cage idea: http://photos.hamorhollow.com/Articles/Hedgehog-Housing-Examples/20070506-180922-HAH/762062020_fLuGj-S.jpg For heating ideas: http://www.hedgehogcentral.com/forums/113-heating/4048-heating-your-hedgehog-s-cage-simplified.html Hope this helps :)

No. this is best for tiny mice or gerbils. I can't believe people use this for hamsters.

I don't know why not. It is a natural bedding and is surprisingly great for burrowing. My African soft fur rats makes all sorts of craziness with it. I have no hedgie experience, but I'm sure it would work fine.

This mat works really well - just warm, not hot. For gerbils - maybe not unless you can really cover it with something thick, but you still run the risk of chewing through it all. Not sure if it would give them a shock or not. The unit itself is very hard - not soft for chewing, but with gerbils, you never know - they might go for it anyway. Hope this helps.
