What size should a tank be for 2 gerbils?

Question

I'm tryin to convince my mom the tank i already have is big enough.

Answer 1

Ten gallons is good.

Answer 2

Ten gallons or larger. make sure they have pleanty of space to burrow.

Answer 3

10 gallon

Answer 4

A 10 gallon tank is alright. You'll realize that once you add things to the tank, there's really not much room for them to run and play. For a pair, I'd recommend a 15-20 gallon tank instead. It'll give them much more room, and they'll probably be happier. However, if 10 gallons is what you have, it'll be fine.

Answer 5

10 gallons is good.

If you want to create a very fun home for your gerbils maybe get a 20 gallon. Some people go to the extreme with their gerbil cages and buy a 40 gallon and fill it with obstaciles.

Good luck with your little gerbils!

Answer 6

A ten gallon size tank is the minimum size for two gerbils.  But the bigger tank they have, the better.  I hope this helps.

Answer 7

According to the American Gerbil Society, a ten gallon (20 inches by 10 inches) is the very minimum size for a pair of gerbils. Bigger is ALWAYS better, but you could get by with something that is 10 gallons. You would have to make sure to keep it clean regularly and find a way to give them plenty of time out of the cage on a daily basis.

Answer 8

I had one gerbil in a 10 gallon tank and he had more than enough room, so 10 gallons should be fine for 2.
