I see much people saying that the Gerbil is big, but that's normal if you feed them well and let them play enough, me and my brothers gerbil are big too 2.7 years old now :)
lol I was waiting for he to nom where the sun doesn't shine, luckily he never did -Hasn't watched the whole video yet- O.o Or did he..? Anyway! xD Find a new place to let him crawl around we wouldn't want him to fall off your leg T~T
@Warriorcats98 Actually, it's not albino. If you look, there is brown in it's tail. It's a Himalayan. Red eyes, white body, brown tail. I used to have one named Sam.
No worries, one is always bigger than the other, the bigger one tends to be domminant becuase they can get to the food first. Not much you can do really just enjoy the little awesome creatures!
they are completly different animals. degus are normaly grey or black and are much larger than gerbils. they do look simmilar. but the degu is closer related to the guinea pig beleive it or not! x x
how easy is it for them to escape cuz i might get 1 but i have ats aswell and im scared that when im out it will escape and run into my cats :( ...lz rply
yes they are but they are very messy in their cage but their easy to handle and take care of but their pretty fast but youlll catch them some time i have 2 and i take mine out for walks in my house all the time one at a time.
I had Gerbils when I was a teen and really enjoyed them. It's so nice to see someone having fun with their pet, allowing them some freedom to explore, and handling them with care and respect. Thanks for sharing this nice video!
i have a gerbil just like that but mines a albino with red eyes... he hates me and everyone else...but good thing my other gerbilloves me... there names are kibbles and bits 0-o
To lift a gerbil up at the base of the tail is the CORRECT way to handle one which COULD bite you. Anywhere else on the tail is bad and the tail could come off.
Please get your facts straight before complaining. Someone who works AT A PET STORE is more qualified than you. Believe it.
Best way to catch an escapist is a long wrapping paper tube. Cover one end with a tomato/strawberry net, place the open side under the furniture, wait til the gerbil goes in and then cover the open end. Transport the guy back to his cage.
One of my two gerbils, Flash, keeps biting me whenever i try to touch him. Even earlier today he made me bleed. It hurts every time, and he doesn't seem to be learning not to do it anymore. Is there anything I can do?
BTW, go to my channel and check out my videos of my cute gerbils!
thanks! i will try this. he has actually started to not bite me as much, i think he might've just needed to get used to me. it was weird though, my hands didn't ever smell like food because i always washed my hands and i wasn't rough handling because i would just try to let him crawl on my hand and he still tried to bite...i wonder why he did that? anyway, thank you, i will try this if he ever bites me again!
Gerbils 'nibble' by instinct, you dont have to mishandle them or anything, its just natural for them. Enjoy your gerbys! take a look at my gerbil vids if you want :) take care
Thanks for the tip (even though it wasnt for me), i will definitly try it, since my black gerbil, Hutch, keeps has bit me twice, and im a little afraid of him in a weird way.. I will try to blow on him :)
My one gerbil (the other 3 are unfortunately already dead) is very old now, and he doesnt want to get handled anymore, so he bites a little. Because he never did it before, i assume it comes with age. Getting a little grumpy =P
That's because you don't catch them. You either lay your hand flat out in the tank and wait for them to climb or, if you absolutely need to pick it up, grab the base of the tail and lift them up enough so that you can put them flat in your hand. If you try to grab at them, they'll get scared.
Oh, and you're gerbil is so cute, btw. I really miss mine.
Your right about the laying your hand flat on the ground to pick up gerbils but never pick up by tail, i am an rspca office and i have seen many issues of tail that have been amputated away from the body with handeling gerbils that way, it doesent always happend but it can, i have 15 gerbils at my home becouse i love then so much, i have 3 in each gerbalium with i have 5 of and i also have a normal gerbil cage for my one gerbil she was brought up allown when she came into rscpa

floxero 2 years ago
Yeah. I've seen pet stores that pick up Gerbils by the tail. It's sad. Here's a couple gerbil Tips:
Tip#1- If your gerbils gets loose, don't start moving stuff like a couch or a big storage box. If it hits the gerbil's tail, the piece will fall off.
Tip#2- If your gerbil's tail falls off, wrap it up with something like cloth ( I used toilet paper) and hold it down for about 2 minutes.
Tip#3- WHATEVER I SAY DON'T FORGET TO FEED YOUR GERBIL! THEY WIIL START TO BITE!
Hope it helps! :) :)
WebkinzDazzle126 3 years ago
Yes, you are right.
I was looking for gerbils a long time in stores, and everytime the people that worked there, they lift them up by there tail.
its kinda frustrating to see, you would think they know how to handle animals in a good way.
I think its trange, but, i know for sure my 3 gerbils have a good time now.
the first time i saw them, i asked if i can hold them, and what does she do... picked him up by his tail....
