Basic first aid.

Wash the wound carefully with plenty of soap and hot water.

Use a little hydrogen peroxide to disinfect

Apply an antiseptic cream While it is not likely to get infected, if it starts to swell and hurt seek medical attention.

How do you get a gerbil to go up and down tubes?

well, you cant make a gerbil go through a tube if he doesnt want to. you have to wait until the gerbil is comfortable with the tube in its presence, then he might explore it, but that could take a while. If you want the gerbil to go inside quicker though.. try putting a treat or two inside the tube, and make sure the gerbil knows they are there. Then the gerbil will go inside if he wants those treats. (just saying, he might wait a bit) once he is inside it once, he will probably go in again!! =D
