Only if you hold by the very tip. Other wise, your gerbil won't be hurt by you holding it by its tail.
Self Defence in the wild = When a predator got the gerbil the gerbil losses hair on tail and if needed the tail pops of so the predator will eat the tail and the gerbil will get a chance to run away ,its like with a leopard gecko
Never pull, grab, or pick them up by their tail! The tail is the weakest part of a gerbil's body. Also, handle them gently. They are small and fragile animals, and will only bite if you mistreat them. Hope I helped!
yes
yes
Take it to your vet!
by its tail or if the gerbil is calm u can just pic it up by its sides it wont bite
Well, It is bad but it isn't one of the worst things that could happen to your Gerbil but you should definitely watch it and make sure it doesn't happen again.
Put it on the naughty chair
when he is 2 weeks
After 24 hours you can hold your gerbil. Or in other words, one day.
you can grab it by the tail but I just scoop him up from his stomach.
it depends on the type of gerbil
