Favorite (Store-Bought) Toy for Gerbs

The boys are pretty fussy with new things, especially Pendy! But there is one toy that Pendy and Tig can not get enough of:



The Super Pet Combo Toy Hamburger!

When we introduced Pendy and D to this toy, it took them a few days to begin chewing on the burger. Once they started, they were completely enamored. Tig took to the burger right away, and now we go through two of these twice a month! (One for Pendy, one for Tig) Luckily, the pet stores around here seem to keep them in stock.

The burger is made up of a combination of small pet-friendly wood and chewable loofah made from dried-out gourds. It keeps our gerbils' teeth healthy and sharp, and also provides them with a challenge: " How can I get to the delicious loofah in the middle?" 

I was a little uneasy when I saw that the loofah was so brightly colored, but the product is dyed with vegetable dye, an animal-friendly coloring method. The boys have had many burgers already in their lives, and they keep coming back for more, so I figure this toy has been safe entertainment for them.

Cardboard tubes will always be their favorite, but our furry guys can't get enough of Super Pet's burger!

  1. They love their burgers so much! If they could only have two things in the world (aside from delicious food and water!), they'd pick the burgers and the wheel!

    Endless hours of fun, keeping Mommy and Daddy awake banging the burger against the glass :)

    Hurray for gerbils! :)

  2. Haha, yes, I forgot to mention, the burger can be quite noisy!

    But if you have any pet, you love them, noise and all :)

  3. I once had a fish that would get so horny, it would hump a toy turtle at the bottom of the bowl ALL NIGHT LONG. Seriously. I got no sleep.

    And wasn't really that devastated when said fish bit the dust shortly after.
