Join me for a relaxing gerbil cage clean & setup as I create a buried playground for my gerbils to explore

PLEASE NOTE: bin cages are not suitable as permanent homes due to the chew out risk & then not meeting the minimum 100x50x50cm enclosure size for gerbils. But they can make great temporary homes!
