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!
yes
Only if you hold by the very tip. Other wise, your gerbil won't be hurt by you holding it by its tail.
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.
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!
Like if you intruduce a baby gerbil to a female and a male gerbil they might be nice to him but the male gerbil might play fight or fight in the cage i do not think if you leave the baby gerbil in the same cage with the male gerbil or a female gerbil the female gerbil migt fight or play fight with the baby gerbil if u do please be real care full because if the male gerbil no that the babby gerbil if its a baby girl gerbil yhey will mate or if u do the same with the adult female gerbil they mate to with a baby boy gerbil or adult gerbil will mate to and also mate means that the female gerbil have babbies with the male gerbils .
a gerbil is called a gerbil
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. :]
