If it's a minor problem: Try getting the gerbil some wood blocks to chew on. Uncooked noodles, stale bread, and other tough materials that won't be hazardous to the gerbil's health will help wear the teeth down. If it's a major problem, you should take your gerbil to a vet to get it's teeth properly trimmed.

Make sure it isn't pregnant.... Try feeding it healthier foods and see if there is a low fat food for it, plenty of exercise, take it out of the cage and play with it. If all else fails... just eat the little dude. :D

Can fat tailed gerbils live with other gerbil species?

It is a well known fact that fat tailed gerbils are more aggressive than their skinny tailed counterparts. Therefore, the fat tailed gerbil is likely to attack the skinny tailed gerbil because it is jealous of its dashing good looks. However, the extra weight added by the tail will slow the gerbil down to the point of its exhaustion by the time it has crossed the tank. The skinny tailed gerbil will then take advantage of the pooped fat tailed gerbil and begin to claw at vital spots on its body. After a few minutes the fat tailed gerbil will be turned into a finger coat and sold to the highest bidder. These quality finger coats are normally valued at 1,000 dollars but avid collecters are willing to pay up to 5,000 for the rare ones.

Why does my gerbil store seeds?

Most gerbils will LOVE seeds as they contain a lot of fat, which is why it is best to offer them as a treat, as putting them in their food can cause them to selective feed and become overweight. Your gerbil probably sees the seeds you give them as some kind of "treasure" and so will hide them so no other gerbil can get to them.
