About three weeks ago I picked up two new little gerbils from a pet store, one of them was very tiny and the other was a little larger.

I got a sandy colored gerbil about four or five months ago, she hasn't grown at all that I've noticed in that time, but she's very healthy. My problem is, no Matter how much I handle her, she nips! She also hates being pet. But if she's in her hamster ball, she'll follow me around and sit next...

my very friendly degu lost his friend yesterday. we were looking at putting a gerbil in with him. he isn't at all territorial and isn't coping on his own. his cage is big (enough for 10 degus so definitely enough for him and a gerbil.) and we could adjust him to fit both of them. could this work?

So my female gerbil just had five pups and I HAVE to get a rid of them. I'm going to try to give them to pet stores and craigslist and petfinder. Any more ideas? Also, After 5 weeks when I seperate the male and females, can I still tell who's a male or do I have to remember when I find out...

I've only just begun to be able to hold my gerbil without stressing him out and noticed that in the last week his nose has gotten darker, almost looks like scabbing or maybe it's just gunk from a cold? I keep the critters away from the windows since it's pretty drafty, but is it possible he may...

I was so excited to find a pet forum that includes all sorts of rodents! Makes it easier to be able ask for general questions without attitude or being completely ignored! :D I'm a new mum to a feisty gerbil, Sami, who's slowly coming around from being completely antisocial to enjoying a little...
