Hey... future potential gerbil owner here. I wanna ask a few questions.

1st, compared to non aggresive hams such as WW, how often do you get bitten by them?
2nd How often do you need to clean their habitat if lets say you put them in a 2ft tank?
3rd Obviously... their smell.... compared to hamsters? which has more smell? =S

any other useful info will be appreciated. Thank you.

O.o Really hamsters stink more? Then I'm gonna get a gerbil! Wahahah.. need to wait a while first... for my new hamster to settle down. Don't wanna bug my parents for too many new pets at one shot.

I see ya'll have a lot of rodents at home. I only have one... and even with just 1 my mom is complaining that it stinks..

Haahah.. I wanted to put in my room.. then my mom was like '?!?!?! SMELLY LA!!!!'

Anyway, I'm planning to get another 2-3 more hammies... anyone here still currently breeding RC/ WW?

Oh... does anyone here know any vet nearby petaling jaya/kl that treats rodents like gerbils and hamsters?

nah.. it's still healthy.. I'm just asking first so I know who to look for in case somthing happens.

What's mealworms... is it.. worms?

'we make them out'??? LoL.. sounds damn funny.. Hmmm.. oh yar.. are gerbils solitary like hamsters? Or they live in groups wan?

Yeah yeah... You should find Ikano dude! LoL... the petshop there is quite nice. Although I think if I'm not mistaken, there was once they mishandled a dog there and it died because it wasn't given any proper treatment. Read it from the newspaper.

Question! What is weaned? Another question.. what kinda pet are those?? Never see before!

Oh.. I didn't know rodents will tap tap never see before wor..

Wah... nezu your pics are all so nice! how you get them to pose ar?

I caught 1 cricket and put near my hammie, it started digging into its bedding! wth?!?
Coward....

Most rodents are omnivour right?

Hahaha... who's the king??? =S That bulldog? Eh for those of you with a lot of rodents, where do you temporarily put them when you're washing the tank?

Hahaa... so cute! Eh.. just wondering... I might get a pair of gerbils from nezu soon.. a 1.5 feet tank can ah? 2 feet like damn big leh.. I see alrd also pening. Hopefully gerbils don't stink.. my mom will chop off my head / serve gerbils to me for dinner.

Aiks.. see how first lar.. because now my mom bising bising about my hamster because it stinks. LOL.. just 1 ww my mom making noise. Hopefully the gerbils not smelly lor. 2 feet tank I need to check got place to put or not. =)

O.o so teruk meh? Okay I hope you guys are right.. lol.. Maybe I should first curi curi hide the gerbils in the house few days after I get them.. then one day I just bring it out and show my mom and say 'NAH! See! You didn't notice any smell right?!' lol..

My mom is super sensitive leh.. I clean my hamster cage every 2 days you know? Because on the 3rd day she'll make noise alrd! LOL

I put more than enough for him to burrow until can't see him. LOL.. as I said before.. mom's nose sensitive. So now I'm trying corn corbs.. I put corn corbs on the bottom and the normal wood shavings on top a bit.

Duprasi are also gerbils.. fat tailed ones. More expensive too. Not sure why it's more expensive... can anyone tell me ???? hahha.. it's like RM150-RM200 for 1 duprasi.
