Gerbils are nocturnal animals and are active at night, sleep during the day.
You can buy them toys such as a wodent wheel, or toilet rolls for them to play and chew, a coconut shell for them to hide.
Gerbils need a nest box to feel secure; they will hide out in it and use if for sleeping. A sturdy wood or ceramic nest box is preferable to plastic since the plastic will quickly be destroyed by chewing. The wood will likely get chewed to but tends to last a little longer. Clay flower pots are another possible choice.
