#1: Clean it's cage(change bedding and so on) every week. #2: Buy a wheel and chewy things for them. #3: Give them cardboard to chew. (prefferably no ink, but I give my gerbils cardboard tissue boxes all the time and nothing happens) #4: Try to get more than one, but make sure they are realated, or they were already living together when you first got them. #5: Females are less known to fight amongst themselves, but males are alright too. #6: Make sure they have lots of stimulation. #7: Obviously, give them food. Do not give them treats regularly. #8: It's alright to bury their food if you want, some owners do this to give them extra stimulation. #9: Put some tissue paper in their cage, because they like to use it tot build nests. #10: Oh, and don't forget water...put it in any rodent water bottle. You could put it in a dish, but it spills and some gerbils don't understand the concept.

Where do you leave your gerbil to go on holiday?

You can leave your gerbil with any friend or relative who is willing to look after your gerbil for you while you are away. Gerbils are not a lot of work. You don't have to take them for walks, as you do for dogs. Your elderly grandmother can probably look after a gerbil.
