I've got a cople of gerbils. Cages are fairly cheap. I suggest you get them glass cages as the plastic ones you normally get for hamsters etc wont last long as they constantly like to chew stuff. From a pet shop I got 2 gerbils, a glass cage, 2 bowels (water/food) bedding, food some, treats, a little hut for them to hide in and some other bits and bobs for a total of ?65 which wasnt too bad as the gerbils themsevles cost ?9
