What else can I help you with?
Are bunnies or gerbils playfull?
I have a gerbil and he is very playful! He also likes digging in the sawdust and making tunnels! :)
How do you teach your Gerbil to sing?
Gerbils are terrible at singing. They prefer to play the keyboard. My gerbils are good at opera singing and playing the bog roll
How do you get a gerbil to climb ladders in it's cage?
You can't. Gerbils prefer to jump. Out of 13 gerbils, none have climbed ladders when ladders are in place (or they have jumped to halfway up the ladder and then jumped to the top). However, I've had 5 climb wire mesh when bored. My conclusion is that gerbils can climb if they want to, but much prefer to jump.
Can you use sand instead of sawdust for gerbils?
Bedding is better otherwise the sad will get in their eyes. Sand should only be used in a sand bath so they can clean themselves.
Are gerbils allergic to sawdust?
They are not necessarily allergic to it but sawdust is not recommended for gerbils as they love to burrow and it can get in there eyes. This also includes pine and cedar wood shavings which are hazardous. I use simple unscented wood shavings that won't cause respiritory problems and fill the cage 1/3 to 1/2 full so thy can burrow. You could also use shredded paper but the cage will have to be cleaned more often.
Do you put newspaper down before woodshavings in an outdoor guinea pig hutch Or do you not use newspaper altogether?
I put newspapers underneath the woodshavings. That is easy because when you clean up the cage, you just roll up the papers with the dirty woodshavings between them and throw it away all at once.
What is better 2 gerbils in the same cage or 1?
They are social creatures and prefer the company of another gerbil.
Your gerbil kicks his sawdust out of his cage why is ts this?
Gerbils naturally dig around and burrow constantly. If the gerbil has a wire enclosure, then surely it will make a mess all around it. Cages that are better suited for gerbils so that they do not do this are aquarium setups or fully enclosed plastic cages, such as Habitrail Ovo.
Can you use cedar sawdust for your gardenias?
Yes, under certain circumstances, cedar sawdust can be used for gardenias. Cedar sawdust causes adjustments in soil pH (power of hydrogen) levels over time toward acidic ranges. Gardenias favor the acidic soils that azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons prefer and therefore will appreciate cedar sawdust if the pH is alkaline or neutral but not if the acidic range is correct.
Can a gerbil fit in a mouse cage?
a mouse cage most certainly is not suitable for gerbils as they are much larger than mice, Gerbils are much more suited to tanks where they have plenty of room to run around and explore and they also like to dig and burrow and with a tank you can add plenty of sawdust for them to do so without any overflowing mess.
Why do gerbils stand up on there back legs?
Usually it means that they are greeting you and something else i beleive..anyway if yu stilll doont understand go to Google or Bing which ever one prefer and type in.. Why do gerbils stand one their hindlegs? If this helps tell me.
Can you keep gerbils on childrens play sand?
It's not recommended because gerbils love to burrow and it gets in their eyes they should have wood shavings that are not pine or cedar as they cause respiratory problems and not sawdust because it gets in their eyes you can use sand in a sand bath which is a little box and you put a bit of sand in so they can wash themselves but not as the main covering or bedding.
