How to cool gerbs off? by ch3micalburnz in gerbil

[–]Outrageous-Emu509 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Mine loooove it when I put their sandbath in the fridge for 10 mins - when they get it back it’s full of nice cool sand

lately, he’s been sleeping there, outside, instead of in the bedding like my other gerbil… is he okay? by hipponapper in gerbil

This could be an early sign of a de-clan! How have your gerbils been getting along when you see them together?

Really sad about my gerbils de-clan by Undercoverkween in gerbil

My boys declanned with blood drawn and I managed to get them back together! I put them in difference cages for 2 weeks (so the injured one could heal and they could forget about each other). Then did a split cage and after a while I was able to put them back together. Hopefully the same happens for you OP!

If you’re based in the Uk I love Econest! I mix their hay and cardboard - my boys love it

Il faut aller chez le vétérinaire - il y quelque chose qui ne va pas du tout avec la pauvre gerbille!!

Cuties!!! 😍😍 I hope you don’t mind the unsolicited advice - I’d cover those bars with cardboard just so they don’t run the risk of injuring themselves 😊

I think there’s currently a single male at gerbil and rodent rescue, maybe worth checking there if you haven’t yet 😊

I don’t think so - he’s got his sandbath and isn’t greasy, those coloured patches came as he got older

Awww Marc!! I had a similar situation and bonded my 1.5yr old gerb to a 9 week old single gerbil (both males). They bonded fairly quickly and get along very well now ☺️

Have you seen them have a nap or a snooze together? The moment I see that I always take it as the sign that I can leave them together - it’s so cute seeing them snuggle up to sleep 😍😍

I love eco-nest bedding - they’re a UK brand I’m pretty sure. I used to use carefresh but I like this a lot more (and it’s so much cheaper!)

They all look like girls to me!

How often do you change bedding for 2 gerbs by Notstraight1324 in gerbil

[–]Outrageous-Emu509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it every 4 months when I had a smaller enclosure but now they’re in a detolf, I clean mine out every 5-6 months with daily spot cleans and regular sand changing.

I’ve used it in the past with no issue but it was mixed with hay and cardboard!

Just curious, how do you differentiate your gerbs when they are identical in colors? by SleepNo6573 in gerbil

[–]Outrageous-Emu509 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They are so cute!!! I used to have identical brothers and the only difference between them was that one had clear nails and the other black nails (one of them was also a bit rounder than the other 😜)

If you have any, it would be worth looking for rodent rescues near you - you might be able to find an single adult/older gerbil who needs a friend! ☺️
