If the human scent gets on the young gerbils too soon when their skin does not have any hair on them, the mothers will kill them because of the different scent.
They do have seizures (this is common in young gerbils)
no but they can make you sick
Gerbils live for around two to four years. Sometimes even five.
i really don't know can someone plz tell me cause i think i killed my gerbils babies i kept spuizzing my gerbils stomach allot
only if they are hungry enough but otherwise no
yes. well sometimes they do.
Sometimes they can be really fat. They are usually skinny, not too skinny.
They wouldn't fight, the ferret would simply kill the gerbil.
No, don't use crittertrail cages with gerbils. Unlike hamsters, gerbils are chewing machines. They can ingest the plastic which can kill them, and by chewing the plastic they can escape. I would use a 10 gallon tank instead. Gerbils cost around $10 each from a pet shop.
Cats are predators and inclined towards killing small animals. A cat will almost certainly try to kill a gerbil.
yes they have 3-7 babies but kill one so 2-6
No. Cohabiting different types of rodents can result in the death of one or all of your pets. Rats kill mice, a behaviour known as muricide and gerbils and syrian hamsters are both extremely territorial and would kill any intruder.
