Hamster and Gerbil Shop

Hamsters and gerbils can be good pets as they are low maintenance, interactive, fun to watch and make great first pets for children and families. With the right gerbil and hamster accessories, you can help create a happy and comfortable environment for your pet.

Gerbil and hamster supplies such as wheels, balls and chew toys will help keep your little pet from growing bored in their new habitat while also providing you with hours of entertainment as you watch them chew, run and play. Petco’s wide selection of hamster and gerbil accessories is sure to have something you and your pet will love.

Taking proper care of any pet involves feeding, and you will need water bottles, food bowls and hamster and gerbil food to help promote their well-being. In addition to pellets, a well-rounded hamster and gerbil wellness plan includes Timothy hay to aid digestion and occasional treats such as fruits, nuts and mealworms.

As friendly as they are, even hamsters and gerbils need a little alone time. Hamster hideouts and other similar gerbil products help give your little friend a place to be alone, sleep, keep warm and stash food, similar to the burrow they would call home in the wild.

Shopping for hamster and gerbil cages is an important step in helping make a comfortable home for your pet. The habitat needs to be big enough to comfortably hold your pet and all of the fun hamster and gerbil toys you’ll have to keep them entertained.

Gerbil and hamster supplies help give your pet a sense of belonging and help keep them happy. Additionally, they can provide excellent opportunities for the two of you to interact and bond. Shop for hamster and gerbil supplies at your neighborhood Petco Pet Care Center or online and save when you choose Curbside Pickup at checkout.
