no ,because it can go into their nostrils and eyes.besides it will make the fur itchy,rough and uncomfortable.
if it is wet take out the wet sand you can sift and reuse sand but 5 times max
not very big because i have 2 gerbils and my cage is small
You shouldn't wash gerbils with water. There's a special kind of dust/sand you can buy and keep in a bowl in their cage. They roll around in it and it keeps them clean.
gerbils mostly live in pairs or small groups so it depends on the size of the cage and if the gerbils know each other
It will be ok as long as you make sure that their cage isn't in direct sunlight or near a drafty area.
clean the cage out and the food.
i suggest to use chinchila sand and put it in a box or a plastic bowl note: dont keep the bowl in the cage for too long
gerbils take baths in sand.
yes, gerbils like to live in groups like a meerkat in australia. if the cage is big enough, if u have a small cage they will get territorial
Probably not. But I read a book in my school library about gerbils and the author of it said that one of his friends put a gerbil and a mouse together in a cage and they worked out OK.
Yes but u would have to get them at the same age and from the same family of gerbils
No they do not, I have a female and she has lived alone for 2years now, and she is perfectly happy how she is :) Hope this helps. :) Some gerbils can live alone but some can not. Some gerbils live shorter lives without a cage buddy.
