Since the baby gerbils (I don't think I've mentioned them here before. Meriones and Jird birthed 4 babies while I was in Michigan) are getting bigger and their cage was getting crowded, I realized I needed to do something about how much playroom they had. While I was at the pet store getting them some food and trying to find a cheap cage to put the babies in when they are weaned, I found a $50 bird cage on sale for $28. I also bought a log for them to play on and when I got home I moved the whole family into it. The plastic bottom is situated such that it may be easier for them to eventually chew out of than the old cage (this one is made for birds, the original for rodents), but I think it makes a quite cute setup and gives them more room to play. I'll try to post a picture sometime later today.
