The thought of this many tubes alone would cause a gerb to go into heat, I can't even feasibly put them all in the tank anymore SMH

Some folks asked to see my gerbils enclosure for inspiration, so here. The wire fence is recycled from a playpen. Hot glue and leftover carpet roll pads the ramps. All edges were sanded smooth.

Construction pics show the catwalk/upper floors which I just finished. Its one solid peice that can be lifted out for cleaning. All glued together for when a gerb inevitably chews. Actual topper and first floor is fastened with screws.

My gerbils love the 2 story catwalk and shelter, they feel more confident anywhere in the topper. Adding a 2nd floor or catwalks similar to mine I think is a must for gerbil toppers, it really reduces that exposed open sky feeling these little prey sillies fear.
