We moved my son's gerbils (Ger & Bil) into the dining room a few months ago because they weren't getting enough attention in my son's room.
They've always had a dish of sand in their cage because we were advised that they like to use it to roll around and "clean" their fur in. And while they were living in my son's room, that was what they used the sand for.....rolling around in!
Since moving them to the dining room, the cats now have access to them and are frequently to be found beside their cage "talking" to them. I DO believe that our girls have been teaching wee Ger & Bil how to be cats! The lovely dish of sand (their bathtub) is now being used by the rodent brothers as a LITTER BOX!!! Just waiting for them to learn to meow next! :lol:
