Not interested in the plywood houses I've built for them - this tiny coconut is where it's at (i.imgur.com)

Me and my partner have had multiple clans of gerbils over the last 7 or so years and every single one has always had a coconut and they have all gone wild for them. Often just hanging out in them but also a cuddle pile. It got to the point where whenever we went to get any supplies for a new clan, we would insist on one as part of their initial setup.

Mine just bury them.

For the most part ours did too, but it depended on the tank. With some of our tanks they have shelves high above the bedding so they couldn't bury them unless they were really determined.

Put the gerbil in the coconut, and watch em snuggle up

They're cute, I think, but what manner of creatures are they?

Gerbils

those little toes!!!!!!!!!

I had to count noses twice, just to figure out how many were in there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

3 noses, 2 feet, 1 tail; at least that's what I can see.

Does the picture show up full size for others?

Where can I upload images other than imgur where the link doesn't get broken after 2 minutes?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It looks fine for me. You should be able to upload to your lemmy instance as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Working fine here using Sync
