  • I WANT IT!

  • I've tried and tried to get my 2 gerbils used to each other, tonight I put them in a big aquarium to see how they'd act with each other. I've had their cages close but the one less tame of the gerbils bear hugged the other and clamped down on the sweet ones nose till it bled. So mad. >_<. They acted like they were cool with each other then wam they latched on to each other. I'm thankful the one didn't kill the other :(

  • @cl4ir3byw you have to bye another gerbil and give it his on cage and slowly introduce your new gerbil to the old one! Have someone hold your new gerbil and you hold your old and let them sniff each other!! For more info look online!! Goodluck!!

  • @MElynda1311 mines does

  • @thatoldseadawg

    My ones have died too :(

    That's why I'm looking at gerbil videos because I miss them :S

    Oh well, they lived for 3 years at least so I'll get over it.

  • I wish I'd got my gerbils trained, it's too late for that now, they're both gone.

  • @gilster345 how old is he mad?

  • @gilster345 I know its horrible when gerbils die.

    I had a gerbil called scrables one called skittles and one called sammy.

    Sammy and skittles lived together but skittles died earlier so I have 1 gerbil on his own Im getting him a freind.

  • I have 2 gerbils de are cute

    

  • Aww....that little one looks like my first gerbil,Gerald... I miss him :'(
