Gerbil Beds, Hideouts & Mats

In order to make your gerbils feel comfy and secure, you'll want to provide them with comfy gerbil beds and hideouts to hide and sleep in. Chewy offers a range of gerbil bed and gerbil hideout styles for your pets, including igloo-style homes, chewable huts, hanging hideaways, pouches and more. You'll also find a few large gerbil beds for sale on our site, plus hammocks, nest boxes and mats that will work for one gerbil or several at a time. Gerbils often enjoy sleeping in little piles, so giving them ample room to snuggle can be a good idea in multi-gerbil cages.

Gerbils burrow in the wild and hide for safety from predators, so a gerbil hideaway will provide them with the privacy and security they need. The best gerbil hideouts provide a healthy chewing surface as well as privacy, so pick one made of wood, grass or cardboard to give your pets something extra to chew on in the cage. You can find neat chew-friendly hideouts that look like logs, trees or huts, or choose a sturdy plastic igloo that'll stand up to lots of bites from hungry gerbil teeth. Corrugated cardboard hideouts do triple duty as chew toys, play areas and hiding spots, plus they come in cute shapes that add flair to your habitat. There are also fun tunnel and ball hideouts that double as toys when your pets aren't napping in them.

The best gerbil beds will provide an element of privacy, as well. Hang up a hammock for a semi-private nap space or put a soft sleeping pouch in a secluded corner of the cage. Some gerbil owners will hang up a half coconut shell as a hammock to avoid fabric, which can be dangerous to gerbils if it frays. Wooden nest boxes and platforms make great rest spots, too, and you may even find your gerbils enjoy using a simple grass mat as a bed on occasion.

Try filling nest boxes and hideaways with gerbil bedding to make them cozier for your pets and consider getting tunnel or ball-style hideaways that work as gerbil toys when your little friends aren't napping. Setting up lookout platforms and tunnels inside your gerbil cage can also provide opportunities for play, exercise and rest and keep your gerbils from getting bored. You should also put hideouts and beds in any playpens your gerbils use to make them feel safer when they're out of the cage, along with gerbil food and gerbil treats to make them feel more at home. Chewy has all the gerbil supplies you need to make your gerbil homes and play areas fun and restful places for your pets.
