the largest I saw is 35 L giant bag... at pets safari, not sure of the price though. Its more expensive than woody pet, definately.

overall BC is better than woody pet, hence the price ...haha..

yea my dads fren's daugther who came to visit also tortured my gerbil...haha... hopefully got over the trauma adi

in terms of pet...gender is not really an issue. in fact my females are tamer to humans than my males. however females are fiercer to each other..haha

If the pups are still furless but above 5 days old, you can tell by looking at the underside, females have 6 nipples, males have none. If furred already, you have to wait for the balls to appear on the males. They should start to appear around 5 weeks old. Dont worry, they wont mate until the balls actually develop fully.

Well, gerbils were never meant as feeders anyway. Rats and mice still more economical and easy to breed.

Anyway, about the gender issue, if you are experienced you can tell the gender of the baby gerbils even as early as day 2 or 3, coz boys and girls have some difference at the genetials. Best to sex them as early as possible la, once they are furred it may be a bit hard. Some males develop more slowly than others somemore, and after they get sold to new owner as a female only they realise its a male.

Ok la, lets not talk about feeders and all that in this thread adi... normally in overseas ang moh forum, the snake and rodent owners are always in dispute as what I observed, haha...

the original stock is really from holland... but any new babies there are bred here from the holland stock. I think the price is 48, there they also put the 68 label...then got another sticker saying promo price rm 48, haha...

Nice pics hun..hope the red eyed is a fox, hehe.... u may have very light deh..bcoz nescafe or chokee got cch gene oso... interesting lo, can give so many color combo

I only got small one..for fork n spoon... actually i think got those big metal cutlery basket thingys, but its probably not cheap..haha

some gerbils r, use cage also cannot..my gerbil bit off part of another gerbils tail who stuck through the cage. SO fierce

Hehe I went penang last year, but no gerbils in the pet shops I went, dunno y..somemore I went to a few. A lot of hammies and many birds, even got peacock, but no gerbs

Put more bedding la... gerbils are digging animals... congrats on getting gerbils

btw if you put in hay, they will make nests... chew the stalks up to bits and construct their own home, quite interesting to watch.
