Is there a whole lot of potential for gerbils to chew this up?

Some risk of chewing. We had a hamster get out due to a chewed hole. But less than other cages on the market today.

My hamster is a chewer so she did some damage to this cage :( Chewers need a glass cage. They make too much noise with the wire cages.

With enough items to chew they should be fine. My hamster only chews on the windows. But have add more chews and change them weekly so she is not bored. We noticed she stop chewing at the windows

I bought this product for my gerbil. He chewed the tubes but hamsters chew less normally.(my hamster can not chew tubes).the tubes are like crittertrail tubes, so if he can not chew those,it should be perfectly fine!

mice are know to chew through alot of things... in my opinion, i think the would be able to chew through the bag if they were determained.

Yes, absolutely. I had a gerbil, I could fill this once a week or so. Just be careful that the level of bedding you put on the floor doesn't get close to the opening at all, mine used to pile pebbles from the floor into the food dispenser and block all the food. To be safe have another form of food available in case it gets blocked. If I was going to be gone for a few days I would also put a bowl of food, which would also get stuffed with bedding, but at least he had a fighting chance!

I don't know much about goats but I don't see why not. I've heard goats like to chew so hang on to it cause I don't think it would last long if the they chewed on it. I hope this answered your question and God bless! :-)

maybe not, my daughter's guinea pig has chewed a small hole in one of the screens. She isn't looking for a way out either, just something to do.

I don't know that answer, but I would say it is safe to assume that anything they make to put in a small animal's habitat is safe for them to chew on. My guinea pig chews on the plastic igloo in her cage and the wooden items in her cage, too. I had rats years ago and they chewed on items such as these and they were fine. I see your concern though, because it does make you wonder what is in them. Some of the chew toys that I've seen are just vegetable shaped pieces of colored wood, no flavor or anything, and that's weird to me, but rodents have to chew. i think the color and shapes of these things are more for us than for them!

My ferrets have chewed on it a little and haven't done damage really. But this was also only on the ends. They don't seem to try and chew from within the tunnel, but it could be different for rats as well. Your best bet is to give it a try and see how it goes. It's only $20 so it's not too much and if they like it, it's fun to watch them play in it.

It should be safe for gerbils. I've used it for my hamsters for almost a year now and it's been the best bedding I've used. Handles odors great.

we no longer possess this product so I can't check for you to make sure but I believe you might be able to, or at least fix it up to work. If hedgehogs chew though, it may be a problem.

I dont think so.....they could chew through the mess that is around the sides.

We have a pair of fancy mice females who can move comfortably through the tunnels. Very small dwarf hamsters might fit, but larger hamsters would be too big - I'm not sure about gerbils. The tubes are less than 2" or about 4.5 cms at widest points. Hope this helps!

My daughter has used it with her gerbils for the past two years without any problems. We put some litter in the bottom before adding this bedding to help control odors.

Judging by the shape of the corners, and the thickness and hardness of the plastic, i think that it would be very difficult for a rodent to chew that container. Perhaps a large rodent with unlimited access and no distractions might eventually damage it, but since the container is air-tight and no food odor would be present, the rodent wouldn't have reason to suspect it contained food. While nothing is 100%, i'd say that this family of containers stands a better chance than anything else i have ever used of being considered "rodent-proof".

Not really. If they are going to do it your not going to be able to stop it. I did have to buy a second one and my bunny hasn't chewed this one but I put it on against the directions.I pu it on the outside with the bars inside that seems to have curbed the chewing.

The spacing is about 1/3 inch wide~ so I feel it would work fine for a gerbil. Also the bottom 5 inchs is hard plastic. I actually made a balcony in half the cage and a ramp one it~ to give my guinea pig more space, since the cage is so tall.
