The Adventures of Max and Moritz 1: How to Care for Gerbils

My two pet gerbils come together to bring you this stunning first episode of their world-famous TV show. This episode is about the proper care of gerbils.

Of course they could not do everything by themselves, so they had to hire someone awesome to do their filming and speaking. ME!

they need to burrow so put more bedding in your cage!! and dont get wird caging!!!

[caronthegerman]

@petzhorseclub

They actually continually move the bedding in the rest of the cage to one spot, which is where they sleep. Whenever I lift their house, there is no bedding underneath and I refill it usually. They just like having a huge amount of bedding in one place.

gerbils should be placed out of direct sunlight !!

Do gerbils bite as much as hamsters? I had two dwarf hamsters and they would nip me if I didn't pick them up with a tube but I heard mice rarely bite and I noticed some people stick their hand in a gerbils face without it biting and thought maybe they didn't bite like mice.

BTW what would people reccommend, a gerbil or a mouse?

And do gerbils need another gerbil to live with or can you have just one?

[caronthegerman]

I have been bitten before but it is more like a friendly nip. It surprises you but it does not hurt very much.

I can't recommend you either one because I have only had experience with gerbils.

You can have a gerbil by itself but it will get lonely, I suggest that you get 2 gerbils.

Oh and I forgot to write something. I really like the cage, but the wheel is a little unsafe. I dont mean to sound rude but I would use a mesh one, so the feet and tip of the tail dont get severed off while running fast. Usually its the tail, and the feet just get twisted. You can duct tape the wheel and put bedding over it to make in non stickey. Sorry I sound kinda rude but cool video. 1 of my gerbils is kinda fat but urs are thin so thats good lol!

Hey dude,

I've had mice. They're very active and vary between docile and skittish. Some of the ones ive had were very docile and you could pick them up with no issues, while others ive had were very skittish and i couldnt pick them up at all. Also Mice like to chew and are VERY messy.

DUDE! YOU WHEEL IS A DEATH MACHINE! THEIR SENSITIVE FEET GET CAUGHT IN THAT AND CAN BREAK! I KNOW SOMEONE WHOSE GERBIL'S LEG HAD TO BE AMPUTATED BECAUSE OF THAT!

[emmaheliseashcraft]

My gerbil lived for 5 years

I feel as if your cage need more toys? should you?

[ownerou]

@caronthegerman I have had a mouse and i have 2 gerbils i recomend gerbils as they aare more playful but mice are VERY good to. Igot 2 gerbils as they are brothers and i would never seperate them. And finaly my gerbils only nipped me when they did not know me but now they rarly nip and my mouse (Squeeks) never bit! hope this helped!!

[HoofClaw]

As much as i agree with things, but as for the wheel i got one for my own gerbil and he got hurt while running in the wheel also the cage bars you have to be carful with as if the chew the bars the can split the teeth (like have a gappy tooth) or even brake them.

great vid and very Cute Gerbils
