Why do gerbils' nose bleeds?
All I know is 1 reason.Maybe if you have 2 or more gerbils maybe one of the gerbils scratched the other one......My brothers gerbil did that to mine all the time.I hope I helped you!There are three main reasons:1. Allergies- your gerbil may be allergic to the bedding you use (especially if it is sawdust or man made. But this is if the whole nose is really red and sore.2. Washing- If it bleeds just a little bit, this is most likely caused by them scratching with their claws if they are sharp when they wash themselves.3. Fighting- If you see your gerbils fighting, they may be scratching each other, but only if it is obvious.Number two is most likely, so don't worry, your gerbil will almost certainly be fineHope it helped

No, don't use crittertrail cages with gerbils. Unlike hamsters, gerbils are chewing machines. They can ingest the plastic which can kill them, and by chewing the plastic they can escape. I would use a 10 gallon tank instead. Gerbils cost around $10 each from a pet shop.
