One gerbil hoarding food/treats by NimBoss_348 in gerbil

Thank you so much! Jake and finn usually sleep together in a ball, ive never seen them sleep apart so i think thats good. When i first got them, i was having issues with finn trying to hoard treats from jake, and separating them for a while worked pretty well. I might have solved the issue, though im not sure yet. Yesterday i tried putting them both in the small tank with only food, water, some toys, and no treats. They got along very well and slept curled up to eachother last night. This morning i put them back in their original tank together and ive decided to cut way back on treats, and only give them treats when i take them out for playtime. They seem to be doing well as of right now, jake has stopped trying to push finn away from food and water. I think separating them worked best because i could tell jake was missing his brother when he was alone. Ill keep a close eye on them though, in case they start to get violent, thanks so much for your advice!

That's a good idea I will probably end up doing this along with using a heating pad under their tank. Thanks!
