small rodents shouldn't get wet. Their small size results in a quick loss of body temperature when drying, and leaves them more vunerable to infections. The stress caused by their instinctual fear of water makes both of these problems worse. I'm sure you didn't mean any harm, but don't do this.
This isn't animal abuse, it was a small amount of water and if you noticed when the owner put her hand in the gerbil went straight to it showing complete trust, if it was scared it would have cowered away in fear.
I've had lots of gerbils, bathed them all, none died. They always had fun drying off afterwards (they'd slide their bodies across the towel I was holding them with; pretty cute). That aside, All of my gerbils always panicked about getting a bath, much like Elvis, but my current gerbil, Raven, will just sit in my hand and let me gently run warm water over him. Since he'll let me do that, I'm happy because it's cleaner than having him sit in water he's going to the bathroom in.
All these people saying this is animal abuse are fucking retards. Maybe gerbils don't like the cold, but not a single creature on EARTH has gotten a cold from cold water. When your grandma tells you not to go outside with wet hair when it's chilly outside because you'll get a cold, she doesn't know what she's talking about. You get a cold from the rhinovirus, and a gerbil who hasn't taken a bath can get a cold just as easily as one who didn't. Fucking 12 year old idiots.
ANIMAL ABUSE BITCHES! I have gerbils I'm 12 and I know they go in water! Sandbaths are healthy for them takes away oils also water gives gerbils a cold!!!!!!!!! U guys are cruel!
As for the video. He was adorable all wet but yes you shouldn't EVER do that with desert rodents. Just don't do that again cause if he didn't get sick that time you got lucky. They catch cold very easy. And need to be kept around 75 to 80 degrees.
Are you people seriously lashing out at the people in this video?! Get over yourselves. You are calling these girls idiots and names when all that happened was they were misinformed. Shit happens. Wow. And we wonder why our world is going to shit. Because everyone is so passive aggressive and like to start fights with each other over the littlest thing. Over population. Hey kinda like when you have to many gerbils in a small cage for to long. They can get aggressive over the littlest twitch.
@nicki2087 No, I was lashing out at people who insulted those who criticized the treatment of the gerbil. True, some of the criticizers could have worded their comments better, but that is no reason to start insulting them because they have a point. I, too, think that the girls deserved a good scolding, because they clearly hadn't bothered to read even one book of gerbil care before buying one. Yes, it is understandable but still not acceptable.
Yeaaaah, this probably did more harm than good. Bathing gerbils in water strips their fur of its natural oils and can potentially end in them catching cold. All of the people saying that those who are upset at this water bath don't know what they're talking about... well, don't know what THEY are talking about.
That said, everyone makes mistakes... hopefully the owner has learned not to do this again!
@HOLLIEandABBEY for the same reason why people sell smokes to others - FOR MONEY! Gerbils get cold very easily and often it is very hard to cure them. DO NOT EVER WASH YOUR GERBIL
I have 2 gerbils and I thought the books said it was not good for them to get wet unless u r showing them and have like a heat lamp to immediately dry them off...... Poor gerbil he looks cold....
Haters always have no clue about what's their actually talking about; definitely can't spell; probably have broken keyboards with permanent caps on - and my all time favourite...no punctuation marks but for '!'.
Some people really need to get their fat behind off the chair and go get a taste of something called life. They might actually find it rather pleasing.
WTF R U DOIN? THIS IS ANIMAL ABUSE! THEY HATE WATER! THATS WHY THEY SELL DUST AT PET STORES! THEY CAN DROWN! THEY CAN GET SICK! AND ITS NOT GOOD FOR THEIR COAT!
a little bit of warm water can't harm a rodent, I know this by experience. Sometimes, they get nasty things stuck on their fur and its hard to remove without water. My hamster got her bum dirty with a vegetable and I had to wash it off. As long as you ensure that she is kept warm while drying, their shouldn't be a problem.
i dont think there is need for nasty comments but i agree that the gerbils shouldnt be put in water, they are desert animals. I have some cute gerbil videos, check them out x
@SirMiran thats sick man what if someone kidnaps a human then the humans at the mercy of the kidnappers or what about all of the soldiers who died in the war for us and who cares about giving an animal a bath if u wanna complain about animal abuse go to a video where someone throws a cat into a camp fire or something
i bathe my gerbils in warm water and a little critter shampoo. Ive done this for years. its easy, fun, and i dont have dust all over. they seem to enjoy it and are fine in the end
Yeah, you shouldn't really bath them unless they get hurt or in a fight, then it's okay to clean their wounds but...it's not necessary. Although, he did look pretty cute.
Geez. My gerbil dropped himself into some cold water that he splashed around in for a good few minutes before we could catch him and get him out. He did not get sick, and he did not die (until years later from old age). Yes, bathing your gerbil in water is completely unecessary and not really something you should do, but telling the owner to burn in hell?
@xTwitterpated The thing is, if you bathe your gerbil every week without knowing what the consequences are it can lead to something much more serious like pneumonia or wet tail.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR GERBILS BATHS. They are very clean animals, and they groom themselves and each other constantly. I've owned gerbils for more then a decade, so I know what I'm talking about.
If you must, buy them chinchilla sand, and they can take a bath in there.
@annabearhug Some gerbils acutally may get wet tial or acutally have cuts and bahting gerbils isnt wrong its acutally good to baht your geribl once a year or when you notic a bad smell as snad bathing only removes some dirt and oils.. Bitch learn you facts
@JonesGal14 maybe you should shut up caused i owned gerbils since i was 8 and i know how to treat them and there is a special sand that they can bathe in you f...... ass hole
@annabearhug Really considering im acutally a small animal vet for 20 years studies have shown aslong as the animal dried off before rlaising the animal will not get sick! and acutally sand baths shouldn't be used alot maybe once every 3 wks-1months as you can dry out your gerbils dry. You might ahve woned gerbils since you were eigth in 42 and have had them since i was ten...
@SirMiran e only wash geribls when injured or severally dirty due to dirty cages or some dieseases. We properly dry off the animal with a light small animal blow dyer :) Sorry fo the mistyping im typing fast srry
@nekogaaramwchan Idiot. Gerbils are desert animals. So they DO NOT SWIM, if they can avoid it. Their fur becomes COMPLETELY and THOROUGHLY WET unlike most of the rodents (rat for an example) whose (whatstheword) base fur stays dry, so they get sick easier.
I'm sure the damn hamster will survive, it's not like the water is that deep. What if that gerbil had something nasty on it's back? They were probably just cleaning it off. Big whoop.
I did it to my hamster, and she loves water. But that was because she rolled around in her shit and I didn't want her to get some disease or infection. You just have to make sure you don't wash the hamster all the time, then it will get sick.
@nekogaaramwchan First: the species discussed is gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) not hamster (Mesocricetus Auratus). Naturally gerbils live in desert and wash themselves with sand. Their fur (and whole body!) has evolved for life with very little water. I have no doubt that your hamster takes water-washing well, some subspecies of the Cricetinae live in riverbanks after all. Point is, these two rodents are completely different species with different needs.
YOU'RE A DUMBASS !! FYI: BATHING HAMSTERS/GERBILS/RATS WITH WATER, WASHES OFF THE SPECIAL OILS IN THE FUR OF HAMSTERS/GERBILS/RATS, MAKING THEM PRONE TO FREEZING TO DEATH ! But that's what you want, don't you. -_- smgdh !
ur not supposed to give it a plain water bath ur supposed to give it either a sand bath or a powder bath or a dust bath either one water irritatesthere ski and is realy dangerous!!im not suprised if its dead already
@wantinggogra108 Actually, sand is best. Dust is very bad for a gerbil's lungs since it's so fine. But you can get Chinchilla sand and it works great! My Derpy loves it and won't bathe in anything else lol
@Gibbo37711 Sigh....It's people like you that ruin the video for me....You can't read the gerbil his mind, so you can not decide whether he likes it or not. Next time leave your little 'treehugging' comments on youtube behind.
@HistoricalRevolution lol gerbils dont drink water in the desert, they survive off the moisture on the wet walls of there burrows and most of there hydration comes from what they eat.
@HistoricalRevolution lol gerbils dont drink water in the desert, they survive off the moisture on the wet walls of there burrows and most of there hydration comes from what they eat.
He was sniffing and bobbing up in down, not in excitement but in panic, he doesent know where he is...he is getting his bearings and figuring out where he just got lifted up and put. His instincts dont tell him to run from water, water is the desert is rare and gerbils dont even know what it is..they are a very curious animals and him sitting in the water not knowing what to do, is exactly whats happening here
YOUR THE STUPID PRICK YA FUCKING IDIOT. ANYONE THAT OWNS GERBILS WILL AGREE WITH ME.
@HistoricalRevolution lol ok right, its a rodent same thing? OK a so a guinea pig is the same as a gerbil. Next you will be telling me that a whale is a fish cause it lives in water.
Wet tail is caused by wetness and rapid change in body temperature for the Gerbil, unless that person stuck a thermometer up that poor things ass that water was either hotter or colder than the gerbils body temp.
@HistoricalRevolution 1. Its not a fucking rat, its a gerbil 2. Yes it can hurt them very badly, they can get a condition called Wet Tail and it can be fatal. 3. Gerbils live in the desert, there insticts are not built around surviving in water....it is stressful and a stressed Gerbil can die of many things.
So before you comment how about YOU FUCKING LEARN? Stupid prick.
When I first used pine bedding I noticed one of my females had a rash and a very raw nose. I changed the bedding to shredded cardboard (hypoallergenic), and it still wasn't helping. I used a warm damp washcloth to clean her and she has been just fine. Plus, I don't use any type of wood bedding.
You can put a bowl of play sand (non toxic) or sand from the pet store in their cage. You shouldn't do what you did here. You can tell it's terrified.
Oh my God, I feel ashame watching this and I realise how evil and despicable we, the human beings, are. We are shit, just using the animals for our own fun wihout realising the consequences that those facts imply. Let the gerbil alone!! doesn´t need a fucking bath!!!!!!!!!
wow you guys are idiots and don't deserve the happiness of owning a pet. gerbils live in the desert, not the ocean, you're not supposed to give them baths, they clean themselves!
you no they could just be kids they might of not known that you cant put gerbils in the water, so please stop making all these bad comments its just not fair on them !!!!! =(
Oneilvt, why don't you have some dignity and pull this video down? It's the responsible thing to do. Afterall, you don't want kids all over the world copying this and immersing their gerbils in water. Gerbils are desert animals, not sea creatures!
Moron. You are aware that you don't bathe gerbils, right? They're desert creatures! You give them a chinchilla dust bath to roll around in. I reported this for animal abuse.
What's the problem? i had to give my gerbils a bath because our cats were too interested and gave them fleas. As long as you dry them off and hold them in a towel, they'll be fine.
YOU FUCK HEAD DONT EVER HAVE A PET AGAIN EVER EVER EVER EVER AND STUDIE AN ANIMAL BEFORE YOU GO DOING SHIT IDIOT FUCK FUCK FUCK IMA PUT U IN A BIG GLASS BOWL AND LAUGH AS YOU TRY TO GET OUT BITCH. ASSHOLE HORE FUCKER ANAL RAPIST UGHH!
You really need to look at him and see if he looks scared cold or even sad. Lets say you were that cute little gerbil and them eveything is wet on you and people dont even give you something to dry off you people need to respect your pet that is so horrible.
EVERYONE "FLAG AS INAPPROPRIATE", ITS NEXT TO "SHARE" THEN GO TO "VIOLENT OR REPULSIVE CONTENT" THEN SELECT "ANIMAL ABUSE"
People see videos like this, dont read the comments and think its ok and funny, especially little spoilt brats. Thumbs up once you have done the above!!!
@Gibbo37711 Dude, this is not abuse. It can't drown in that little of water, this isn't violent or repulsive, and it doesn't seem to be very distressed. All of you bleeding heart drama queens need to get the fuck over yourselves.
I have two gerbils and I can tell you know that is not a very good idea. Gerbils don't need baths they groom themselves/eachother. The only bath they need and like is a sand bath. Don't do this to your gerbil anymore, he can get sick and he looks terrified in the video :( I'm not criticising or saying your a bad pet owner I am just giving you some advice

@annabearhug Really considering im acutally a small animal vet for 20 years studies have shown aslong as the animal dried off before rlaising the animal will not get sick! and acutally sand baths shouldn't be used alot maybe once every 3 wks-1months as you can dry out your gerbils dry. You might ahve woned gerbils since you were eigth in 42 and have had them since i was ten...

@nekogaaramwchan Idiot. Gerbils are desert animals. So they DO NOT SWIM, if they can avoid it. Their fur becomes COMPLETELY and THOROUGHLY WET unlike most of the rodents (rat for an example) whose (whatstheword) base fur stays dry, so they get sick easier.

@SirMiran Lol. Excusseee meeee Mr. Know-it-all.
I'm sure the damn hamster will survive, it's not like the water is that deep. What if that gerbil had something nasty on it's back? They were probably just cleaning it off. Big whoop.
I did it to my hamster, and she loves water. But that was because she rolled around in her shit and I didn't want her to get some disease or infection. You just have to make sure you don't wash the hamster all the time, then it will get sick.
Chill out, man.
nekogaaramwchan 3 months ago
@nekogaaramwchan First: the species discussed is gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) not hamster (Mesocricetus Auratus). Naturally gerbils live in desert and wash themselves with sand. Their fur (and whole body!) has evolved for life with very little water. I have no doubt that your hamster takes water-washing well, some subspecies of the Cricetinae live in riverbanks after all. Point is, these two rodents are completely different species with different needs.

@wantinggogra108 Actually, sand is best. Dust is very bad for a gerbil's lungs since it's so fine. But you can get Chinchilla sand and it works great! My Derpy loves it and won't bathe in anything else lol

@HistoricalRevolution lol gerbils dont drink water in the desert, they survive off the moisture on the wet walls of there burrows and most of there hydration comes from what they eat.

He was sniffing and bobbing up in down, not in excitement but in panic, he doesent know where he is...he is getting his bearings and figuring out where he just got lifted up and put. His instincts dont tell him to run from water, water is the desert is rare and gerbils dont even know what it is..they are a very curious animals and him sitting in the water not knowing what to do, is exactly whats happening here
YOUR THE STUPID PRICK YA FUCKING IDIOT. ANYONE THAT OWNS GERBILS WILL AGREE WITH ME.

@HistoricalRevolution lol ok right, its a rodent same thing? OK a so a guinea pig is the same as a gerbil. Next you will be telling me that a whale is a fish cause it lives in water.
Wet tail is caused by wetness and rapid change in body temperature for the Gerbil, unless that person stuck a thermometer up that poor things ass that water was either hotter or colder than the gerbils body temp.
Gibbo37711 7 months ago
@HistoricalRevolution 1. Its not a fucking rat, its a gerbil 2. Yes it can hurt them very badly, they can get a condition called Wet Tail and it can be fatal. 3. Gerbils live in the desert, there insticts are not built around surviving in water....it is stressful and a stressed Gerbil can die of many things.
So before you comment how about YOU FUCKING LEARN? Stupid prick.

When I first used pine bedding I noticed one of my females had a rash and a very raw nose. I changed the bedding to shredded cardboard (hypoallergenic), and it still wasn't helping. I used a warm damp washcloth to clean her and she has been just fine. Plus, I don't use any type of wood bedding.

I have two gerbils and I can tell you know that is not a very good idea. Gerbils don't need baths they groom themselves/eachother. The only bath they need and like is a sand bath. Don't do this to your gerbil anymore, he can get sick and he looks terrified in the video :( I'm not criticising or saying your a bad pet owner I am just giving you some advice
