Never! In the wild, gerbil take sand baths, it keeps their fur clean and fluffy. But I would not recommend actually giving them a bath. Gerbils are not big fans of water, and could easily drown. I you really want your gerbils to look nice though, buy them bath powder and put it in a container. It's adorable to watch them roll around in it! You could also brush them with an unused toothbrush.

What types of dust do you use for your gerbils bath?

A gerbil dust bath is actually making use of chinchilla dust and sands, available at places like Petsmart and Petco. Pour a couple of inches of the sand into a bowl and place your gerbil in it. The gerbil should run and roll around, kicking up dust, making a mess, but getting clean. The fine dust captures dirt and grease that may be on their fur and leaves their coat shiny and smooth! It keeps their coat clean by removing grease and grub from it. Gerbils should always have a special place for digging in which helps to keep their fur nicely maintained. For a dust bath, use chinchilla bathing sand in a container. They will dig and roll around in it and it will keep their fur clean Please note that this is the only type of bath you should give your gerbils, as water will rinse off natural oils that insulate the gerbil and it could get sick or chill to death!
