[bestfunnyguyever]

your a fat head....gerbil hater!!

[Crazysimfan95]

can u train my gerbil? hes fat but we hardly give him treats, we give them UNSALTED sunflower seed befor bed then the go to sleep wich is cuuutteee!

[endtime2038]

sunflower seeds are fatty

[beaacrobat]

is it okay to train a gerbil that is 4 months old? because mine is doesn't accept foods from me.

[itsdavedm]

what do you try to feed it?

if it doesnt except food from you, you have some work to do.. you need to tame your gerbil before you attempt any of this

[liljoeytj]

my gerbil does exactly the same but instead i use lego blocks as hurldels.i didnt take too long for her to master her tricks.recent ly i have taught her to put her paws on my hand and to jump higher.

[gerbilvlog]

what are some good treats?

[liljoeytj]

sunflower seeds and peanuts but they seem to like sunflower seeds more.

[cuppie271998]

woaaah

[keithcibbbs]

it took awile but i finnaly got mine to follow my fingers

[brandonkulosa]

Training a gerbil that wasn't hand raised can be an exhausting trial. It took me probably 12-15 hours of patient seed holding before my gerbil would step onto my hand to retrieve the seed. Then another 5-8 before she would regularly respond to the training and obstacle course. Even after 7 months of not training her she still knows the tricks and treats. Good luck

[nicolabrowes]

@brandonkulosa that is the exact same colour as mine there like twins



[whowhatwhy5]

hi hows it going brandon, you gerbal looks so cute in this vidoe

[deb8704]

do you use the bell to call him?

[brandonkulosa]

Sorry it took so long to respond, the bell is used to call the gerbil to where the bell is. By putting obstacles in the way, she navigates them.

[mumbagal]

cool! i am getting a gerbil in a couple months! i might try this!

[Amzdale7]

wow! my gerbil mooby has those EXACT same markings! the diamond on the forehead and the white bit just behind his head, paws, tail everything! weird!

[courtneyrox4554]

awsome im trying to teach my baby gerbil fuzzy wuzzy how to climb over small obsicalls and under things ..my question is how long does it take for the gerbil to know this hes about a month old and wev'e been trying for an hour a day so plz tell me how long it takes

[gmonday]

smart little guy

[sharokas]

very cool. im trying to teach my gerbil to do that , but... she doesnt seem to get it :(

oh well, im still trying though.

[1MidnaDUSK1]

I've been tring this out, and its been going very well! xD

Thanks for showing Youtube users and more this. xD

[theon333]

thanks man now my gerbil is traing

[missdisorientated]

That's ace!

I've tried to teach my gerbils similar tricks but they don't seem quite as clever as yours!

[MarnasMenagerie]

I am on a small pet trick training list at yahoo, I am sending your video link to them....It is always fun to see others training small animals.
