No, they are best kept in a large fish tank with a wire lid as they love to dig and chew.

It depends on how cold the weather can be.

gerbils can live in the cold for very short times if it is above freezing, if they have at least 1 other cagemate, and if they have enough bedding to tunnel through. because they live in the dessert and sometimes it gets cold at nite but the gerbils survive because they burrow down under the sand and they all sleep in one "room" on top of each other sharing body heat.

all gerbils thump their feet to talk to one another and to warn others that is is their area. Yeah, all gerbils do, they do it when excited, threatened, annoyed or to warn other gerbils off or that there is a predator. My gerbils thump their feet when I go in to give them a toilet roll (they love them).

Yes they can, but only if they have been bitten or their eyes are dry. Their tears are red, so you know it's not blood.

You need to ask yourself one question - do you love them? If the answer is yes it wouldn't matter if you lived 10 hours apart. Everything is worth it for love. If you're not sure you love them, go out on some dates and compare them to your guy. You will soon see how special (or not) he is and whether he is worth the effort. If you both feel it's worth it, then it is. It will be a bit harder than a "normal" relationship, but if you want to be together, you can make it work. If it's really worth it then move closer to each other. If you're completely serious about it then get married and move into the same house. Otherwise... no. Well speaking from experience, If the other person is mutually serious about their feelings for you and willing to put forth an earnest effort to make the relationship grow into more than just being friends or hanging buddies, then I would say yes. True love will not be hurt by time spent apart or distance. However, keep in mind that in order to get to trully know someone you have to spend time talking with them and being in their company. Get to know all you can about this person by asking as many questions as you can and listening to what they do say as well as to what they dont say. Good Luck your going to need it.. answer If you both love each other then yes. Do you dread going over there? If you do then you only like that person. If no then you love her & it dont matter how far away you live from each other.

Yes,

But you need to train your cat to stay off the table or whatever your going to keep the gerbil on. And just for in-case your cat goes on the table wondering, "What's making that noise?", you want to make sure it's a heavy glass or wire cage not plastic. Besides if it is a plastic cage your gerbil will chew through it and escape. If your gerbil escapes your cat will find it catch it or kill it.

Also remember to give your cat as much attention as before you got the gerbil or it will become jealous, and it might get so crazy that it will find a way into the cage and kills it.

And one more thing remember that they will be a big responsibility.

You should avoid holding a Gerbil by its tail except for extreme circumstances such as administering medicine.

If you grab the end of it's tail it will come off as a defence mechanism and if you hold it too close to the base you can cause damage.

Most importantly though, the Gerbil will think it very uncool and will take longer to become tame, no one wants to be waved about by the bottom.

If you find your Gerbil hard to catch use a toilet tube or glass jar to gently lift it out of the tank.

I'm not really sure, but if your gerbils are a bit aggressive and your rabbit is sensitive, I wouldn't really recommend that. Try it if you want, tell me what happens!(:

Absolutely not. Rabbits are too large, and will hurt a co-habiting gerbil.

Yes they can.

Gerbils can eat most seeds and black oil seeds are one of the ones they can eat.

it is not safe to feed gerbils any bread,(any kind)thus this will cause their tiny intestines to inflate.they will stop eating and die.

As gerbils are omnivores, they can eat most things, they can eat bread, just not too much. If you have to feed it bread, feed it wholmeal. Watered bread, mushed up dried food, and mushed up fruit (as instructed by the vet) saved my gerbils life when it pulled out its teeth. It has done so 4 times since and hasn't yet died. But don't ever feed it too much so be sparing with it (perhaps only once a month or so, give it 1cm2 for example).
