No it's actually good for them, but you have to buy the hay, because normal hay might have parisites in them.
yes
Yes. But NEVER use pine or ceder bedding it can kill them, same with mice.
i found out ppl thx
no but they can make you sick
they can because they can live in only fresh hay which has to be changed every 4.05 hours so they can move around so
If the human scent gets on the young gerbils too soon when their skin does not have any hair on them, the mothers will kill them because of the different scent.
I don't know about STRAIGHT from the field but mine eat timothy hay ALL the time. They like regular hay. I do not think that it is poisonus to them. So yes. They can eat dried and baled hay.
i really don't know can someone plz tell me cause i think i killed my gerbils babies i kept spuizzing my gerbils stomach allot
They wouldn't fight, the ferret would simply kill the gerbil.
No, don't use crittertrail cages with gerbils. Unlike hamsters, gerbils are chewing machines. They can ingest the plastic which can kill them, and by chewing the plastic they can escape. I would use a 10 gallon tank instead. Gerbils cost around $10 each from a pet shop.
Cats are predators and inclined towards killing small animals. A cat will almost certainly try to kill a gerbil.
yes they have 3-7 babies but kill one so 2-6
