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!

No. It is perfectly normal. This means that your gerbil needs some time to get used to his/her cage. Don't take it out for an hour or so after putting it in.


Your gerbil has has a spot of hair missing on his back is it bad?

Gerbil hair loss may be caused by many reasons. The gerbil's cage mate could be fighting him for dominance, and could've bitten there; you may have to watch them. Mites can cause hair loss, and that needs to be checked out immediately. Or the gerbil is simply bored and is over-grooming. Throw in an extra toy or something new!

Can a Gerbil have Sheep's wool for bedding please?

Wool fibers and commercially sold "fluff" is generally a bad idea for gerbils, as it may get caught around a leg or the gerbil may be allergic. If you want bedding for your gerbil, throw in a wad of unscented toilet paper. They'll tear this apart and build with it. :]
