I just wanted to know if this cage is suitable (Alexander small pet cage on zoo plus) I know on the website it says yes but when i look online everyone says it needs to be glass?
not very big because i have 2 gerbils and my cage is small
gerbils mostly live in pairs or small groups so it depends on the size of the cage and if the gerbils know each other
yes, gerbils like to live in groups like a meerkat in australia. if the cage is big enough, if u have a small cage they will get territorial
clean the cage out and the food.
Your hamster hides in small parts of your cage because it is probably scared or if it is a robo hamster the hide might not be suitable for him/her
a mouse cage most certainly is not suitable for gerbils as they are much larger than mice, Gerbils are much more suited to tanks where they have plenty of room to run around and explore and they also like to dig and burrow and with a tank you can add plenty of sawdust for them to do so without any overflowing mess.
Yes but u would have to get them at the same age and from the same family of gerbils
No they do not, I have a female and she has lived alone for 2years now, and she is perfectly happy how she is :) Hope this helps. :) Some gerbils can live alone but some can not. Some gerbils live shorter lives without a cage buddy.
Put them in a quiet preferably warm room. Remove any other gerbils from the cage.
two boy gerbils should not fight, aslong as they knew each other form since they were pups. if not, use the split cage method and you should be fine. if you leave some old bedding in the cage when you clean it out gerbils are less likely to fight. girl gerbils are more dominent so boys are less likely to fight then girls. always keep a pair of gerbils, or they will get depressed. some gerbils do like to live alone, but this is uncommon.
For the most part, yes, they do. Gerbils, like other animals, have individual personalities, however. Some gerbils will not get along with other gerbils, regardless of gender.
No. The gerbil will eat the mouse
