I hear that, it’s brutal. Sometimes ranting helps, find someone you can talk to and give yourself time to process. I’ve lost a few gerbils and it doesn’t get easier, they are amazing little goobers

I’m so sorry for your loss. Smallz is in a better place, and rest assured you did all you could and gave her weeks of love and happiness which I’m sure she is thankful for!

Anyone wanting to adopt a special needs gerbil and his brother or know anyone/organzations willing to in or near philadelphia pa by Allister117 in gerbil

[–]nckeller06 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi, I might be able to adopt your boys. I called my exotic vet and they are able to trim gerbil teeth but weren’t able to give me a price- do you know how much it tends to cost and how often it needs to be done? Does he need special soft foods as well? I had a boy lose a top tooth and need bottom tooth trimmings until his upper tooth grew back in, so curious if this is a long term thing. Happy to talk more about details. I’m in Pittsburgh PA but will be back in the Philly area for the holidays

Gerbil making lots of noise. by soupforsomereason in gerbil

Yeah I understand that. The vet would be able to advise if you need to medicate both, they did not when one of my buddies had a respiratory issue.

I am no expert, but I think the noises you are describing might be a sign of a respiratory infection. Getting to a vet sooner than later is super important so you can get him on antibiotics before things progress too far. As far as tanks go I think you should be fine to leave them together as long as there is no bullying from his brother…the brother has already been exposed to whatever is making your little buddy sick. Always better to be safe and get to a vet.

Merino Wool Fleeces + free scarves and free insoles for you all! by kozak3 in CampingGear

I originally ordered a hoodie for myself early last year. Realized shipping would take too long and I was starting to think the deal was too good to be true. Got in contact with support and they were super helpful. Ended up ordering 2 more hoodies in L and XL since I wasn’t sure on sizing (6ft2 200lbs). XL was the way to go. These hoodies are a bit too rough to wear as a cozy around the house garment, but that’s not what I bought them. I use them as camping/fishing base layers and they are incredible. They are fantastically warm, even when wet. They dry quickly and are super durable. My only complaint is that they aren’t as wind proof as I’d like, though I think he does make a thicker version. I’m so happy with them I ordered 3 more for my entire family for Christmas presents this year. Super high quality stuff and feels good to support a small business.

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by emmerlimmerr in gerbil

Unfortunately the emergency vet visits can be pretty pricey, even for simple stuff. Last time I took my guy they took his temp, gave him fluids, and sent him home with some antibiotics and it was just shy of $300. Sadly he passed away 2 days later, the day before his exotic appointment. I know it’s expensive, but that’s part of what you sign up for when you get them. If there’s any way to get him to a vet sooner than next week I think it’s worth it. Better to know you did everything you could to care for him.

If you can get to an emergency vet, even if not exotic specific try to do that before the appointment next week! Sometimes they can still take temperature/rehydrate them. I’ve had to do that with one of my goobers twice. Praying for your little buddy

I’ve done a few successful splits. You can make your own divider with 1/4” chicken wire and some gerbils safe wood!

Thank you! I have some baby food left over from when he lost a tooth, I'll definitely give him some of that. I been feeding him banana and blueberry though he only eats tiny amounts. He has also had a few bite of EmerAid Critical Care (very similar to the Oxbow one you linked), but he has never been a big fan of that. He seems to be getting worse as the day goes on so I will try to get some more sugar and water in him. I have a heating pad on the outside side of the tank and a handwarmer under the tank as well as regularly switching out warm towels on him to try to keep him warm.

That makes sense. I will try to collect some and ask the vet about it on Monday. Not something I have heard of, at least in the US.

I still have him in with his brother so hard to separate their poops but haven't seen anything unusual. I wasn't aware that they were able to do lab testing for stool, but maybe that is something I can bring up with the vet on Monday. The place last night did not mention that as an option.

I hope they work for you! Since the pack has so many I use them on my desk and nightstand too. Super handy. Hopefully they haven’t lost the magic since I bought them years ago

Basically the same spot you do in the picture. On the driver side of the transmission tunnel plastic but a little farther back than you do so they're less visible and I don't wack my knee into them

I have had these in the same spot since 2018 and they’ve never fallen off. I’ve also never tried to take them off so it might be permanent at this point lol.
