What do you do when a baby gerbil is bleeding?

Answer 1

Gerbils mucas is red. People often mistake it for blood. Chances are the gerbil's nose is just irritated, but if it is prolonged it could be caused by an allergy from the bedding or nesting materials used. If this is so switch beddings and see what works. Also make sure all nesting material is unfragranced or dyes because they are known to irritate gerbils.

Answer 2

fist you separate them.

take the one that's bleeding the most

wash the blood out then you put peroxide on it in case its infected then

you wrap it up in something, same with the other.

Answer 3

Your gerbil's tail has probably been degloved. Much like a lizard, a gerbil has a defense mechanism that allows it to unhinge its tail; however, unlike a lizard, the gerbil won't grow it back. The good news is that this is a naturally occurring behavior that can be easily fixed by simply making sure it is cleaned up. The bad news is that this might mean that your gerbil is fighting with its cagemate, or was in a stressful situation that caused it to drop its tail. Be sure to check into that.

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Comfort animal and go to vet. It is likely that the gerbil's teeth need trimming. Gerbils need to chew every day to wear the teeth down, so purchasing some high quality chew toys made for gerbils is necessary for their wellbeing.

Answer 6

Try to gently stop the bleeding as best as you can (maybe with a soft rag) and call your veterinarian right away.
