how can u tell if a gerbil has respitory infection? cuz i think my old one died of it

[zotteke1991]

@rubyred710 Usually there is a discharge, and like any very sick gerbil they sit still alot. And the coat goes all 'puffy' in stead of being nice and smooth. They look like little furballs. When you keep them close to your ear you can sometimes hear a weeze. Whatever you do, keep your remaining gerbils in quarantine because repitory infection is HIGHLY contagious.

@zotteke1991 thats pretty much exactly how he was, thanks. when i had him i didnt have any other gerbils so i didnt have to worry about it being contagious. i dont have any more gerbils now cuz they got infested with mites and got sick from them. then the bugs sorta infested my house, hmm i had a lot of gerbil problems...

[zotteke1991]

@rubyred710 Oh boy, i hate mites too. I got them, and out of sheer misery i got rid of every single gerbil i owned. They are impossible to get rid off. It got so bad, that the mites even went on me and my family and we were covered in little red bitemarks. The loss of blood killed a lot of my gerbils. Even an extremely rare one and all her offspring. A mutation which only 3 gerbils have ever had that ive known of. I'll try to post a vid of her soon btw, if my computer decides to cooperate.

[rubyred710]

@zotteke1991 yeah same it took a few months to get the mites completely out of my house and my gerbils died from the blood loss, one even a couple days after my bday :(

[zotteke1991]

@rubyred710 oh no, sorry to hear that! The only thing which helped (temporarily) was the 404 spray from Beaphar. It might have a different name where you come from, im from the netherlands. If it ever happens again, be sure to spray absolutely your entire house incl. cars and for instance a desk chair at your work. Repeat after 2 weeks, and if you wanna be sure, again after a week or so. It'll cost you a fortune too. A lot more than what it costs to prevent it =\

[xenawp5]

how likely is it that when i get my gerbils they will have parasites? i need to know whether or not to get spot-on.

[SuperGorgous]

these little gerbils are SO cute! how many gerbils does a mum usually have? and do you keep the babys?

[fuckshitupcr3w]

It's kind of rare that you see a gerbil that's not moving 6 billion miles per minute LOL no just kidding I have a snow white gerbil named Leonidas and a midnight black one named Sparta they move very fast but I still ruv dem
