Do not use saw dust use bedding like at the petco store
If you have a healthy gerbil who lives in a clean cage/tank then you will not die if you put their head in your mouth. On the contrary it will be very unsanitary to do so considering they burrow/dig where they poop/urinate and clean themselves also gerbils are prone to mites.
Put them in a quiet preferably warm room. Remove any other gerbils from the cage.
only if there sisters
No, I wouldn't put them in the same cage, I don't think they would get on too well.
yes but put up a divider to eliminate competition
I would suggest not doing that from the start. They can become quite aggressive, and fight all the time.
you can buy many kinds of bedding from pet store but if you want to make your own then you can just put some peices of tissue in there cage and they will chew it up.
Buy another cage and put them next to each other
Probably not. But I read a book in my school library about gerbils and the author of it said that one of his friends put a gerbil and a mouse together in a cage and they worked out OK.
Yes! If they continue to fight put them in a diffrent cage for a few hours, 5 or 6, then put them together again. They will make up because they were lonely. I have 9 gerbils it works. :)
yes. so they dont fight, you need to put a divider in the middle of the cage.
It will be ok as long as you make sure that their cage isn't in direct sunlight or near a drafty area.
