Yeah, why not?
After 24 hours you can hold your gerbil. Or in other words, one day.
My gerbil is prone to biting but I found out on the Internet that if your gerbil bites you don't drop it or do anything to it because it needs to learn that you are not there to hurt it but to care for it and love it. So you will need to hold your gerbil every day for at least ten minutes and it will start to gain your trust and become your best friend.
Only if you hold by the very tip. Other wise, your gerbil won't be hurt by you holding it by its tail.
Gerbils are nappers (as in they take naps throughout day and night). You probably just aren't there when the gerbil is awake.
For the safety of the gerbil, you should only hold the babies after they open their eyes. At this time, they are more mobile and should be picking up new scents. If you pick them up at a younger stage, the parents may think your scent is that of a predator and they will kill and eat the baby.
yes they do. If you hold your gerbil(s) and put a finger near their face(s), you'll feel the whiskers.
It is in a gerbil's nature to sleep alot. Although they are not strictly nocturnal, they can be as active in the day as they are in the night.
one a day
2 milliliters
When they have started to develop fur. if you hold them to early, their mother may abandon them, so you shouldn't hold them until they are completely furry and can walk or run.
It is dark, the gerbil wants to hibernate.
not very long they aren't like other rodent they dont sleep all day and are up all night at the most 1-2 hours a day otherwise u have a very lazy gerbil.
