Lots of ways: * High humidity makes them susceptible to diseases * bite infections- fighting gerbils * Poisoning - spoiled fresh food and poisonous houseplants * Parasites - check your animals thoroughly for diseases. parasites can come from new gerbils
Gerbils CAN'T eat cheese they get sick.
no but they can make you sick
Gerbils may start to shed when the weather gets warmer. Other that that, gerbils should not loose hair unless they are sick. If a gerbil is loosing hair, it could be very sick.
My guess would be YES
yes, but never feed your gerbils oranges because it could get them sick and could also lead to death
DON'T TRY IT!!! I'm not sure if they can, but please do not try it as they could get sick (many foods are poisonous to gerbils) NEVER FEED YOUR GERBIL CITRUS FRUITS!!!
A sick or ill baby gerbil looks normal...Sometimes. BUT, if they hardly move a lot, don't nurse, and their exposed skin becomes pale and/or scaley; that shows they are sick. Sick baby gerbils also let loose a lot of mucus from their noses. Feel the babies nose to see if it is wet. Baby gerbils that are sick also tend to drool.
Gerbils only eat there pups if something is seriously wrong. (Dehydration, sick or injured pups, ect.) This not only applies to the mother, but also the father. Gerbil's make great dads.
Do you mean, Can a gerbil eat a carrot? If so, then yes! just, maybe not a whole one... that may make them sick. But you can give them one teaspoon of apples or carrots twice a week! hope this helps!
yes but you'll have to peal the first layer of of skin off first so they wont get sick
It either means they have a cold or their nose is infected. You should take your gerbil to the vet if you think it's sick. Don't pick up gerbils if you have a cold.
Other gerbils.
