Gerbils are burrowers they build large nests underground. Sometimes gerbils will dig relentlessly in the corner of their tank, under their water bottle, or in a box. This is called stereotypical digging. Gerbils raised in an artificial burrow system often display less stereotypical digging behaviors. All gerbils do dig.
Gerbils need to have tunnels.
· Try adding more bedding, if its deep enough for them to crawl under, it may reduce the digging. · Adding tunnels, boxes, or tubes under the bedding may help.
