What else can I help you with?
What kind of behavoir do gerbils have?
Gerbils normally have good behaviour if you are holding them. They normally don't bit but you will get the odd one. In their cage they like to burrow and chew their toys.
Do you have to separate the baby gerbils from there parents?
No. You should leave the new gerbils, mother and father together. If the parents seem to be harming their children you can take the one harming and separate it using the split cage method.
Is it wise to put a mouse and a gerbil in the same cage?
Probably not. But I read a book in my school library about gerbils and the author of it said that one of his friends put a gerbil and a mouse together in a cage and they worked out OK.
How much do girbels cost?
gerbils themselves cost 10$ to 20$ the cage (for only one gerbil) cost 25$ to 40$ the food is about 5$ the chew sticks are at least 3$ two gerbils probably cost more
I bought what i thought were 2 female gerbils but now they have started mating what should i do?
The same thing happened to me, I bought 2 female gerbils from the pet store and then found babies in the cage one morning. Check online pictures of male and female gerbil genitalia so you can determine which one is the male. You need to put the male in a separate cage or they will keep mating and making more babies. Gerbils mate again right after the babies are born, so you might end up with another litter even after you separate them. Keep them separate unless you want to breed them, or you will end up with a ton of gerbils! Here's a link to find pics of the gerbils genitalia: http://www.gerbils.co.uk/gerbils/gender.htm
Do gerbils eat parts of other dead gerbils?
Yes. Because when one in nature dies it attracts pradators.So they eat the dead one so the predators dont eat them all. When a gerbil dies just take it out of the cage and bury it or throw the gerbil away in a bag.
Why should you purchase two gerbils gerbils of the same sex instead of one?
many animals especially gerbils enjoy company of their own kind and if you don't want baby gerbils the same sex keeps that from happening.
Can you put two female gerbils that are not sisters in the same cage?
It can be dangerous if two female gerbils are introduced. The split-cage method should be used and the females should be young. The split-cage method isn't always guaranteed to work, but if you're patient it is possible that the two can get along.
How much are gerbil food and cage?
Food is relatively cheep around £2-£6. Cages are the most expensive ranging from £25 for small cages usually for one sometimes two gerbils to £100 for groups. The one I brought was £70 from pets at home large for 3-4 gerbils.
Can gerbils have babies after one year of age?
Yes. I have a friend and she has gerbils that are over one year old. They have had babies. In a gerbils lifespan gerbils have around 15 litters of babies.
Will a baby rat be compatible with a parakeet and can they live together in the same cage?
since no one has answered you... I thought I would let you know my rat killed and ate my two gerbils. I let her out for a while and she found a way into the gerbil cage and she attacked them. ick. Another rat I had killed it's cage mate (rat).
Could you put a black gerbil with a Mongolian gerbil in the same cage?
The main issue with gerbils is not species but gender. When it comes to gerbils, one male and one female are bound to get along but expect babies. Two females should get along good, but still be watched and two males are bound to fight. Hope this helps
