Pip and Squeak's thread :)

I don't know why but the camera seems to focus a lot more on squeak

I went to the pet shop the other day and got the girls some bits.
I also got them a Sputnik house. It is a hanging house and I was sure that they'd love it so I bought it.
I struggled to fit it in the cage as most places were too high so they couldn't reach. I had to remodel the enclosure to find a place.

This is what it looks like:


I filled it with paper bedding and hay.

Of course, after all that struggle to fit it in, they completely ignore it.

Btw, I know that plastic isn't good for them but I am making sure I keep an eye out so I can take it out if they start chewing.

A rather impressive tunnel

Haven't been on this thread for a while so I decided to add some updates pictures that I took this morning.
Pip and Squeak have grown so much!

 

[spud's_mum]

Just so that you can see the size of them now

So I got the girls a new cage and some accessories


They still have all their toys from the current cage to go in. The sectioned off bit is for digging and will be filled very high with bedding. I sectioned it off so that I wouldn't have to use so much bedding

Just bought even more cage accessories
I got some more hay and a little hide that I am planning to bury. I also got some lemon pet disinfectant as well.

When I was younger than you, I used to have a pair of gerbils (Bubble & Squeak). They'd have loved that enclosure.

My wife gets her Timothy/Alfalfa hay in bales at a local tack and feed store for livestock.
A bale that is absolutely HUGE costs about $17! We store it in several big bins out in the garage.
If you have the space. This is the way to buy it!!

I would love to do that but I don't use much and I don't have very much space
I might have to do that with wood shavings though if I can find the space

The lemon stuff seemed to work

I bought her a shop vacuum for the wood shavings. They are BRUTAL!!

Yeah.
They drive my mum mad because the gerbils kick them out of the cage and get stuck to my feet and I walk them around the house
And they break the filter in the vaccuum.

The girls have moved in
Squeak is currently destroying the house and Pip is enjoying some millet
