What is the best way to train Trapinch?
Trapinch is a ground type and will keep that ground type all it's life. so what i'd try doing to evolve vibrava , because someone said that it gets easier with vibrava, is train it at New Mauvile city with the voltorbs and magnemites. keep some potions with and level it up to lvl 35.
What are the nesting habits of gerbils?
Hi! I used to have two gerbils (one died) and they like to sleep alot but they also like to eat, but not always if they are not hungry, they love to dig and they are very inquizative. But it depends because your gerbils personalitys might be different!
If a gerbil's hair is ruffled is he sick?
Not necessarily. It can be a small sign, but if he is himself, then he's probably fine. Gerbils have very silky coats which can get greasy very easily. Here are some possible solutions/causes:
- lack of minerals (my gerbils coats were very ruffled and have improved with their mineral block). Play on their hobbies- they love to chew so provide him with a mineral block big enough to chew.
- Lack of proper bedding. Certain types of bedding can make their hair ruffled. If you give them a sand pit, this should help immensley (thats how they clean themselves in the wild).
- make sure your hands arent dirty or greasy when you hold him.
- Sometimes its just their type of fur (my gerbils have very silky and greasy fur, others may have coarse fur).
But watch him carefully and he doesnt seem to have any other problems, then hes probably okay. If you notice something strange, you should perhaps take him to the vet.

No it's actually good for them, but you have to buy the hay, because normal hay might have parisites in them.
Will a bunny get stunned if you take a picture of it with the flash?
A bunny will not generally get stunned if you take a picture of it with a flash. They may get scared and freeze momentarily, but they are not stunned in the the classic sense.
Boy gerbils actually do have nipples but less visible then female and seem to be less in count having a possible four.
Where can you get a gerbil leash?
i realy dont think they sell leashes for gerbils and you diffenenty dont want to tiy a string to your gerbil but if you still want to keep looking for a leash you can ask a vet or someone who works at a pet store.
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.
Can a gerbil live in a hamster cage Not a habitrail though?
Hamster cages are a good choice for a gerbil. If it has a metal pan it is a very good choice. Habitrails are plastic. Gerbils love to chew so you might see a hole in the side of it. That's what happend to mine. Hope this helps!!
What toys keep gerbils teeth short?
Paper and cardboard that you have at home is good as well as fruit tree branches like apple tree branches. You can also but chew toilets from shops. These are usually made of wood or rope and there are best to keep gerbils teeth short.
What to do when your gerbils give birth?
Put them in a quiet preferably warm room. Remove any other gerbils from the cage.
Will male gerbils fight each other in the same cage?
Males are typically calmer and less territorial than female gerbils. But with any gerbil, if it is not already a cagemate or sibling, it must be introduced properly through a split-cage method. You can find many examples of how to do this at:

Where to find a gerbil breeder in NY?
petfinder.com has small animals including gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, etc. available for adoption.
What are the chances of a gerbil having only male pups?
There is no actual statistic for this, but I have had litters of 8 with all males.
What are the most common and uncommon seashell colors?
I don't really know, but from having had to catalogue many, many seashell collections I would say "light brown" is the most common seashell color, closely followed by off-white. Shades of blue would be the most rare, from my experience.
How do you catch mesprit when it is moving around so much?
Well, you should probably have a Pokemon in your party who knows mean look so Mesprit cannot escape. Stand on the boarder of Jubilife City's east side, then walk onto the route, then walk back into the city, etc, until Mesprit ends up on your route. Use a repel, and start to walk through the grass. The only Pokemon that will show up will be Mesprit.
Use mean look on mesprit, so it cannot escape. Try to weaken it down to 1HP, or as close as you can get it (I recommend using false swipe). Then just throw ultra balls at it. It takes a while. If you can't do it the first time, you can always try again. Status changes/afflictions are also good.
P.S: DO NOT LET IT FAINT!!! RESTART THE GAME IF YOU DO, EVEN IF YOU'VE NEVER SAVED IN YOUR LIFE!
Most likely not naturally, this is not exactly suggested either if you are trying to start a new breed or a genetic mutation. This can result in many health problems such as deformities. It would most likely not work because although rats and gerbils are both rodents they are not in the same family, they are both in Rodentia though. So the blunt answer is no, do not try it either because of the possible consequences. The gerbil and rat may not get along either.
How do you get your gerbil pregnant?
Put it with a male gerbil and have no other gerbils except them two they will become friends and may have interest in the other gerbil. Hope this info helped!!!!
When introducing gerbils is squeaking good?
Watch out, squeeking indicates aggression. One may eat the other in it's sleep.
