The reason that Gerbils don't choke on cardboard is because as soon as they finish chewing it they spit it out onto the floor. That's why when they're chewing a box or tube out of cardboard, a large pile of chewed pieces will pile around their feet.
No! It is not safe for them to eat it but it is safe for them to chew it.
The gerbil will most likely be fine. It paper, so it should not be harmful. My brother ate a cupcake wrapper once, and he was fine.
Different Gerbils like to chew on different things but gnaw sticks are good for them Yes. Gerbils are enthusiastic chewers. They will chew on practicaly anything but some things could choke and maybe kill them. Toilet roll tubes are good for them as well as anything made out of that sort. Do not give them painted cardboard. Also in pet shops you can get wooden blocks designed for chewing and you can even get large chews for gerbils.
Gerbils can eat, cardboard, wood, fruits, veggies, and they need to have cardboard or something to chew on if not their teeth will grow and grow and overcome them and they will not be able to chew/eat
no, most gerbils dont bite as often as hampsters only unless they dont have chew toys such as something wooden
Give them things to scratch on like thick peaces of cardboard personally my gerbils scratch the side of the plastic bottom of the cage and that keeps their nails short bless.
we dont have hair when we are born do we!

we dont have gerbils. we have guinea pigs. and depends where you get them from. pet stores can be from $10-30.
For fun they like to chew paper and cardboard. They also like to run in plastic balls, once they learn how!
Most kittens or cats dont bother gerbils or hampsters. But, some cats have been known to eat gerbils so, if u have a cat make sure it cant get to your gerbil, or dont have a cat at all if you want a gerbil.
You cant give cabbage to guinea pigs i dont know about gerbils.
