yalor.. then surely very dangerous to buy from them leh.. dunno what your aspen might have also.. maybe some poisonous stuff. aiks.. btw, gerbils so far are healthy.. parents didn't say anything today. Oh guys, would anyone be interested if I sell off my 2ft tank for RM30? I bought it for RM41. I'm searching for a smaller tank. 2ft too big for 2 gerbils in my opinion.. and harder to convince my parents to let it in the house.
So far those 2 are healthy and active. Btw, how much do i feed them compared to a ww hamster? Do they eat a lot?


*snore*


Tank quite empty for the moment...Is it too empty ah? i scared my gerbils get bored to death. Will add things soon. hehe.. 3 toilet rolls and some boxes+the coconut.
the hay initially i put at 1 corner quite a lot.. they go dig dig.. chew chew until scattered all over the place...


See the turtle up there? I bet he's thinking 'why 2 small rodents get such a big tank and I'm staying in this overcrowded space?!?!'

Sigh.. me feel bad for the gerbils.. Initially I promised foo they can stay indoor... mana tau parents so ganas.. -.-" Tendang them outside pula.. but at least for now they're willing to let me keep it. I guess it'll be one small step at a time.

Then what food you feed them?

yealor.. i know 2ft is good. If my parents allow me to keep in my room, i surely use the 2 ft de... haih.. the gerbils are right outside my main door. Hehe.. fully shaded car posh. So no worries.. no sunlight. Btw, nobody answer me yet.. How much food do i give the gerbils? 1 day about 2 handful enough ka? And 1 more thing.. if i put 1 tub of water in the tank, is it okay? they can drink/cool(bathe perhaps?) themselves?

eek... your gerbils still new and yet you can make him hold still. Mine so so jumpy!!! Especially my sp agouti.. i put him on top of the tank he go pee poo there a bit.. hahahha.. luckily gerbils pee very little.. like 2-3 drops only.

Mine also sp agouti very naughty.. my DTW at least don't run so frantically.. Foo ahhhh!!! Any taming techniques? The sp agouti very nakal... treat my hand as if i'm doom bringer... keep jumping and running.. swt.. DTW very funny... i put my hand in the tank, she'll come smell smell.. but if i wanna catch must be fast.. agouti just totally avoid me!!!

oh okok.. so i guess i'm not the only one facing this problem.. I also did the same thing.. in the end i cabut the whole cover to catch them.. zzz...

very curious hor? see hp, come immediately.

I wanna slap the gerbils and show them who's boss.. They think that they are the dominant ones in the cage.. WRONG IT'S ME! ME ME ME! I'm the boss!
jkjk...
I'm actually quite surprised that they didn't bite me although i annoyed them so much when trying to catch.. haha.. fun fun...

agreed... maybe a year later when my parents totally get used to the current 2 gerbils i have now, i'll buy more.. nyeh.. but better not get my hopes up too high. I put 2 toilet roll inside yesterday.. today, one of them almost half gone alrd.. O.o mad chewers..

Mine actively digging all the time.. then the agouti.. zzz... everytime he sees me and i make just a small movement.. he'll get shocked and run away. Is he paranoid or what???

haha.. yar.. just now i just placed my hand inside the tank for 10 minutes.. let them run around and smell and grab.. =P tomorrow I shall try hand feeding them. They're very curious.. I put a calcium block inside and both of them came out to explore.. my sp agouti is more dominant i guess.. always see her grooming the dtw.

LoL.. you and babymoli siblings? Anyway, I remember nezu telling me that the one that grooms others the most is the dominant one.

Yalor.. Initially I only wanted hammi.. then I found this thread.. and got poisoned by mainly foo's pic. I blame it on her! hahahaha.. hao i help you now to kick her. *kicks foo and run away* poof..

bleh? future husband and wife? engaged alrd ah? I thought siblings pulak.. paiseh..

When babymoli gets married you'll see her gerbils attending too. All wearing custom made tuxedo and white dresses. LOL... AHHH!!! I need to get a 1.5ft tank quick.. stupid pet family don't sell it.

maner jln pasar tu?

omg.. so far.. by the time i get there and come back, my LRT ticket alrd cover the price of the tank.

So it'll be RM29 in the end.. plus my efforts to go all the way there.. aiks. not worth it la.. shall just go look in 88..

I'm a bit worried about my sp agouti.. she gets shocked and alerted very very easily.. I sit down.. look at her..when I stand up, she'll get scared for a moment and run very fast! The dtw also not so sensitive... will gerbils suffer from paranoia and be afraid of me forever???

Oh.. bad bad foo.. give a newbie a timid gerbil. Tsk tsk... nvmla.. more challenge to tame it. Hopefully i don't do anything wrong. nyeh nyeh..

Ii'm at uni now.. worried about my gerbils.. hopefully they're doing fine..

I just hand fed my babies just now.. the sp agouti still super timid.. it's really very very weird... the DTW won't jump and run if i move.. but the sp agouti.. acts like she's seeing humans for the first time.. They hesitated to take food from my hand a while.. DTW climbed up my hand then took food then ran.. sp agouti like some snatch theif.. come, take, run away..
