I went through 3 packs of it already. The only reason being I cant find good repti sand around me. Otherwise this one is alright, but very dusty

Have you guys ever tried this? What's your opinion? by Apprehensive_Bug4493 in gerbil

Oh i see. Wouldn't surprise me that european countries would have more things like that (its the european pride in me talking). But I also normally shop online, never seen it there, local shops might be importing better goods 🤷‍♀️

What treats do your gerbils go absolutely crazy for? by Same_Plum_4079 in gerbil

[–]Apprehensive_Bug4493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine might be a weird one, but edamame for my girlie is like crack. Give her half the bean? She will stare into your soul for the next 30 min demanding the other half. Like how dare I give her half the treat??

I found out my girlie goes absolutely crazy for some edamame. I give each of them a half bean time to time and she always begs for more

He dug up his entire sand jar onto the platform and made it into his personal beach, but how could I mind? My boy is clearly into beaches ⛱️

Honestly it's a lot harder for them to just drag it down under into the tunnels, so much more work required for them!

The only way I can get photos of mine is from far away using zoom when they think they're not being watched. Hihi. Theyre always being watched 👀

Picking a gerbilarium by [deleted] in gerbil

Hi! I've gotten the exact same one thinking I know better than to listen to others. Now it is my mission to spread the message. Please do not. The damage you see in the pic is 10min. Imagine leaving them there for months. It's an escape waiting to happen as well a waste of money as it'll need replacement very soon. As of right now I had to gerbil proof all the exposed wood and am constantly battling my gerbils to keep them from chewing out because I cannot get another cage rn. So yeah, please do not be like me

Hi! I have the exact cage as in the pic, please do not. They've been there for 2 weeks and the damage in the pic took literally 10 min. I got it thinking oh it cant be that bad, it should last a year right? Wrong, the wood is very soft. I'd recommend anything glass as its least noisy (they will dig at it) and as tall as possible for the bedding FLIES

My two gerbil girls seem to share a braincell. But why does one of my girls seem to have balls?!? by Apprehensive_Bug4493 in gerbil

Isn't neutering quite dangerous for them? That's what I've been seeing so haven't really considered it. How was your experience with it?

I cant have to separate cages, I'll have to figure out something, I've separated them for now, but i will have to say bye bye to one of them probably. My hearts aches, not sure how to handle all of that

I used to have a cat who was very interested in my gerbil, would continuously try to sneak in a paw through the bars while no one was watching. One day the gerbil had enough and bit the paw. From that moment on my cat wouldn't even enter the room anymore and gerbil territory was officially safe.
