as regards their current housing arrangements

they are currently in what i will call my temporary accomodation so you will have to provide them with a NEW HOME. THIS IS A TANK ONLY!!! Perfecto are probably the best but are pricey - these come with shelving, tubs, bottles etc. You will need the £50+ size. ROTATSTAK AND OTHER PLASTIC HOMES ARE BAD FOR GERBILS!! If you choose not to purchase the Perfecto then a basic tank for each pair will be the size 24x18x12 at least 20 gallons. Pets@Home do make a gerbilarium although i personally think these are on the small side and are twice the price of the 24x18x12 tank they supply. I am more than happy to purchase a tank on your behalf but be aware that I will charge for this. I will provide the tank, shavings, hay and peat for the tank only - i only have so much - sorry, i'd love to give you a years supply but i cant :-(

I will also supply a wheel and food/water bowls. If you do have your own tank - i would like to see a photo just for confirmation.

I do charge a fee for adoption but this is only to cover the costs of looking after the gerbils in my care. This is £5 each - the same price that the RSPCA charge so if they think thats fair then so do I.


Basically - if people are really stuck, have gerbils they are desperate to rehome and/or have been trying for 2 mths or more - i will do my best to re-home them on your behalf, i only have a small house so can only hold about 15/16 at any one time, but i will try and help you find the right home for your gerbils!!

So, if anyone has any old leaky tanks or gerbilariums or tank toppers they no longer want or need please let me know!!!

Thanks

Emma
