Gerbil houses – hideaways & multi-room houses for digging, resting, and sleeping together
Good gerbil houses do two things at once: they provide your gerbils with a safe hiding place and they support natural behaviors like tunneling and burrowing . Gerbils are social animals that like to sleep together, but also occasionally choose their own spot. Therefore, a combination of one spacious (multi-room) house plus additional hiding places works best in practice.
At DRD Rodent Shop® , you'll find a selection of houses suitable for gerbils: sturdy, safe, and logically designed in a habitat with deep bedding. Specialists in rodents and rabbits since 2011 .
Preferably choose a multi-room house that is large enough for the group to nest together.
Tip: Multiple rooms = more natural castle feeling.
Houses with more than one entrance help gerbils to "pass" each other and provide a choice of routes.
Combine tunnels →
Gerbils love to gnaw. Wood and sturdy natural materials are often more suitable than thin plastic.

Gerbil houses – quick selection guide
A good foundation for most gerbil groups: one large (multi-room) house + one or two additional hiding places . This allows them to sleep together and escape when they need a bit of peace and quiet.
1) Multi-room houses (recommended as a "main house")
- Mimics the idea of a castle : multiple rooms, often with a removable roof.
- Handy for checking nesting material without destroying everything.
2) Wooden & tree trunk houses (rodent-friendly)
- Suits gnawing behaviour and gives a natural appearance.
- Combine with additional gnawing material to direct the “demolition urge”.
3) Ceramics & terracotta (stable and pleasant to use)
- Sturdy, stable and often easy to clean.
- Nice as an extra hiding place or a “cooler” resting place (depending on the location in the enclosure).
Tip : Provide gerbils with multiple hiding places along their routes. This way, they won't have to sprint through the enclosure.
What is a good gerbil house?
- Spacious enough for sleeping together (gerbils like to lie against each other).
- Multiple entrances or logical flow (helps with group dynamics).
- Strong and safe without sharp edges or loose splinters.
- Practical : preferably with a removable roof or inspection facility.
How many and how big should gerbil houses be?
As a guideline, choose at least one large house for the entire group and add one or two additional hiding places . In larger groups, more choice often makes things calmer, as animals can move around. When choosing the size, pay particular attention: can they lie down comfortably together without being crammed?
Materials: What's Best for Gerbils?
- Wood / natural wood : rodent-friendly and natural; ideal as a base.
- Log houses : sturdy, natural and popular in "gerbilscaping".
- Ceramics & terracotta : sturdy, stable and often easy to clean.
- Grass/hay/straw houses : fun to demolish; expect them to be gone faster.
- Plastic : Avoid it for real rodents; if it is used, choose only a very sturdy, safe variety and check regularly for gnawing damage.
Placement & gerbil scaping: how to make it logical
- Create a proper digging zone with deep ground cover and place (part of) the house in/against that zone.
- Combine hiding places with tunnels and an elevated route via platforms and ladders .
- Always keep a sand bath separate and stable: gerbil sandbox .
Checklist – setting up gerbil houses
✔ 1 large (multi-room) house as a base for the group.
✔ 1–2 additional hiding places for choice and rest.
✔ Preferably multiple entrances/routes.
✔ Offer gnawing material to encourage gnawing behavior.
✔ Place houses stably (especially with deep ground cover).
✔ If you have any doubts about behavior or group tension, consult a veterinarian or an experienced shelter/gerbil owner.
Safety
Check houses regularly for splinters, sharp edges, or gnawing damage. Choose sturdy wood, ceramic, or terracotta over thin plastic. Clean without harsh chemicals and let everything dry thoroughly before returning it to the enclosure.
FAQ – gerbil houses
What are the best gerbil houses?
In practice, multi-room houses (as the main house) plus additional shelters work best. Pay attention to space, safety, and preferably multiple entrances.
Do gerbils gnaw houses to pieces?
Gerbils like to chew. This is normal behavior. Therefore, choose chew-friendly materials and always offer extra chewing material .
How do I clean wooden houses?
Spot clean where necessary and let dry thoroughly. If a wooden house starts to smell after a while, a urine spray is often used.
