some gerbils would rather use it as a toilet make it possible for the gerbil to exit the sand
no they hate water but they take sand baths http://www.twinsqueaks.com/tips-archive/tip061403.html
Only sand baths, hamsters should never get wet as they can get pneumonia very easily.
If it is a 2 week old gerbil, than its still a baby. I would say one should not be put in a sand bath until about 6-7 weeks, when they're more mature.
Yes u can , but don't use soap , u should have room temperature water and and if your gerbil is small enough then use a sink, but if it's a larger gerbil use the tub.plus you must always have a towl ready for when you are done .speaking of at the end of the bath..............once you have the towl around the gerbil the rub gently until it looks dry enough
If you have enough sand you should just put sand in the bottom. It is like a bath for them and keeps them clean.
gerbils take baths in sand.
as long as its not poisonous and not hard

For their bedding... cat litter or sand.
yes they take sand baths. you can put a 1inch tray fill it with chinchilla bathing sand and they may roll over in it or not, if they do then they need to take a bath 1-2 times a month.
