Would a male or female mouse be best for a first mouse?
Hi my name is Melina and i am 9 years old. I think it would be best to start out with a female because if you have a female hamster of gerbil or something of the rodent family if you have a male and you put it in with your hamster or gerbil female the results may end in you hamster and/or gerbil may become pregnant.
Can hamsters and gerbil live int the same cage?
Gerbils should never be put together with Hampsters. They are from different environments and eat different foods. Dispite the fact that most foods are for 'both hampsters and gerbils' that is wrong. They have different nutritional requirements. Hampsters are VERY territorial and will end up with one of them dead or severely injured. Do not put a gerbil and a hampster in the same cage! No matter how docile the hampster and gerbil look. yup! they can get to be pretty good buddies too.The gerbil will love it and try to be friends, but the hamster will defend territory. The gerbil will most likely fight back and with the gerbil's long claws and teeth that never stop growing, I think the hamster will die. You guys all are stupid, Yes, Gerbils and Hamsters can live together if they're docile and nice to each other...I have a gerbil and a Russian dwarf hamster and they have NEVER once fought, and yes u can put them together...No! No, no, no! Anyone who has been able to do this has had extremely good luck -- and that's all it is. If it is a Syrian hamster, the gerbil will die. If a dwarf, the hamster will die.
What is a chanchilla?
First off, not to be rude or anything... (if I come across so, then sorry dont mean to be) it is pronounced "chinchilla" and I am fairly sure that it is spelt that way. (My friend who hates me is an expert on these creatures.... hm....) and it is closely related to the gerbil, hamster, etc. First off, not to be rude or anything...

How do you clean a gerbil with water?
If you are a good care taker, your gerbil probably will not need a bath in water. Gerbils do like to take dust baths. The pet store sells the dust and your gerbil may be a little apprehensive at first, but give him/her some time and they will roll around in the dust in no time. It will be kinda shy. But after a couple minutes it'll hop in there.
What does it mean when your hamster bites you for no reason?

Well first of all there should not be mold in a hamsters cage. Try taking your hamster out of the cage and keep her/him in something else for a while. Scrub his/her cage really well, get hamster "cage clean" to get the stink out. Your hamster should be fine.
