What else can I help you with?
Can you use flour for a gerbils dust bath?
Gerbils do not require dust baths like Chinchillas. If you are able to get a gerbil to try it then use a dust bath formula from a pet store. In my experience they don't like baths.
How often should you give your gerbils a bath?
1 or 2 times a week
When gerbils get baths is there a soap you have to use?
No, there is no special soap for giving a gerbil a bath.
Where can you donate gerbils?
Many breeders will take in rescue gerbils. You can also visit a animal shelter and ask if they will take in gerbils.
Can you bath gerbils in a inch of water?
Yes they love this, I bath my gerbil and cat together Only if you never want it to learn to swim.
Do gerbils take baths?
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.
How often do chinchillas need a dust bath?
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.
How often do you bath a gerbil?
Once every two weeks or monthly. Gerbils get wet in the wild and don't die.

What do you do if your gerbils belly is big and purple?

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!
Will male gerbils an dfemale gerbils fight?
no but they will have babies and when they do the father will try to eat them so if you do have babies take the father away when they are being born. male gerbils fight with each other.
