Washing a gerbil is normally only done when a gerbil is going to be competitivly shown or needs to get wounds washed (only to be done by a vet). Nearly all pet gerbils will never have to be washed. Do not wash your gerbil without advise from your vet.
you CAN wash a gerbil but in chinchlla dust, you may find at you local pet shore, ask pet shop staff for more detales
you don't need to if you have another gerbil because they clean each other :)
once a month at least
When handling your pet gerbil it is extremely important to take safety pro cautions. Always wash your hands before and after interaction. Not only should you handle your gerbil with care but too also shove it in your pants. Do this once or twice a day with your gerbil and the two of you will have the best relationship with your pet. enjoi!
no they hate water but they take sand baths http://www.twinsqueaks.com/tips-archive/tip061403.html
NO!! Washing your gerbils with water can give it several diseases. Few gerbils survive baths. If you would like to bathe your gerbil, buy Chinchilla Dust (made from volcanic ash, is safe) and put it in a container for your gerbils to run around in. If your gerbil HAS to get something off (like a sticky residue from food) you can use the very tip of a slightly damp cloth but IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS make sure to dry your gerbil off COMPLETELY. Also, I would recommend getting a new, better gerbil book (like the Discovery Channel one)
Like if you intruduce a baby gerbil to a female and a male gerbil they might be nice to him but the male gerbil might play fight or fight in the cage i do not think if you leave the baby gerbil in the same cage with the male gerbil or a female gerbil the female gerbil migt fight or play fight with the baby gerbil if u do please be real care full because if the male gerbil no that the babby gerbil if its a baby girl gerbil yhey will mate or if u do the same with the adult female gerbil they mate to with a baby boy gerbil or adult gerbil will mate to and also mate means that the female gerbil have babbies with the male gerbils .
a gerbil is called a gerbil
She has a gerbil called Gerry.The gerbil nibbled on the treat.
like most rodents, when relaxed (or comfortable) in its surroundings and your company gerbils will stop and wash themselves. like most rodents, when relaxed (or comfortable) in its surroundings and your company gerbils will stop and wash themselves. like most rodents, when relaxed (or comfortable) in its surroundings and your company gerbils will stop and wash themselves.
