Product Information
Full details
The Ferplast Gabry 60 is an ideal habitat for gerbils and hamsters, specifically designed for burrowing animals who need depth to thrive. Its primary benefit is the deep glass base that allows for natural tunneling behaviors, though prospective owners should note that the unit's height requires careful placement to ensure stability and proper ventilation.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the Ferplast Gabry 60?
The cage measures 60 cm in length, 31.5 cm in width, and 52 cm in height.
Is the cage suitable for guinea pigs?
No, the Gabry 60 is designed specifically for gerbils and hamsters; it does not provide enough floor space for larger rodents like guinea pigs.
What is the bar spacing?
The bar spacing is 7.3 mm, which is designed to keep small animals secure while providing ventilation.
Can I remove the top level?
The internal ladder and upper level are designed to be part of the habitat, but the entire metal mesh top is removable for cleaning.
What is the best way to clean the glass base?
Use a damp cloth with a mild, pet-safe soap or a diluted vinegar solution. Ensure it is completely dry before adding fresh bedding.
Troubleshooting
Tube sections coming loose during activity
Ensure that the articulated joints are pushed firmly into the ports until an audible click is heard.
Substrate spilling during cleaning
Ensure the top metal enclosure is lifted straight up and placed on a flat surface to prevent tipping and unnecessary debris fall-out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Begin by placing the glass base on a level, stable surface. Assemble the internal ladder and secure the metal mesh top onto the base using the provided clips. Arrange the articulated tubes according to your pet's preference, ensuring they are snapped firmly into the designated ports.
Compatibility: This cage is specifically sized for gerbils and hamsters. It is not suitable for larger rodents like guinea pigs or rabbits due to the dimension constraints.
Care: To maintain the habitat, spot-clean daily by removing any soiled bedding from the upper platform. Deep clean the entire enclosure once a month by detaching the metal frame and washing the glass base with pet-safe disinfectant. Ensure the metal mesh and tubes are wiped down and fully dried before reassembly.
