What? Most water bottles for hamsters work well because those bottles are for rodents.... what kinda bottle are you using? Critter Canteen? Habitrail? Delikate? Wild? KingFisher?

Is it transparent? Then the cover is black? I'm using that I think.... so far that is not bad.

There is no need to squeeze the bottle, coz if you do that, you are actually making the bottle's condition worse.

LOL... they don't suck lah.... they lick. The water is suppose to come out slow so that there is no leakage, and it controls their drinking as well so they won't choke. This goes for Habitrail and Critter Canteen but then Habitrail is prone to leaking and also the cover breaks after long usage.

This is called Gravity bottles, the water flows according to gravity, not pressure. If you squeeze it, you will disrupt the vacuum inside, causing the bottle to leak later on..... The water should come out in drops.... 1 or 2 drops at a time each time we push the metal tip. It should never flow freely out. Just droplets.

Do you include veggie and fruits as well? Gerbils do not drink along of water.... 3 gerbils of mine actually share 1 tank, they need about 1 week to finish the bottle... sometimes 1.5 week. This is coz of diet. If you feed fresh veggies and fruits often, they don't need much water.

They will drink when thirsty, do not worry. They can go longer without water than hamsters.

When you refill the water, do you test to make the water drip out nicely but never leak? Also, you cannot fill the bottle full, you need to leave at least 15% of space so the vacuum can work.

Rubber ring? No... mine has no rubber ring, I think.... the rubber ring bottle leaks if I do not place at the correct angle LOL.....

Foo, you had this problem before ah? Hahah... I never see this happen to any of my bottles before.... so far all good working bottles, but I hate Habitrail. Prefer Critter Canteen....

Hahaha... look at that sleeping position, really funny way to sleep.

Yesterday the little red fox pups and nutmeg pups open their eyes! All really cute. But then they do not have the dark red fur like their dad, Redster....

Hahah... I wish to breed more yellow fox and red fox.... now i'm looking around for DEH with Pp and more nutmeg with Pp.... hard to come by these loh.

Har? Got new gerbils there? What colour wor?

Just now I weigh my Silver boy, 110g LOL... so nice to hold and squeeze.

Wah, I wonder from which breeder did they get from..... Hahaha... long time I didn't go Pet family.... Maybe Friday I go see see.

Soon I will be getting 40 gerbils!!!! Of course I won't keep all LOL.... will let go for adoption to those who really want gerbils.

Not me loh... I never breed 40 LOL....

Got this guy ask my help, he said he got 2 clans and each clan got like 20 gerbils..... I think 20 in 1 cage.... I have no idea yet.... he wanna give away as adoption. Sigh, this is why we stress to people never get male and female pair without thinking..... anyway, I help him rehome loh but I will need to keep the 40 first before I find them homes.....

I won't breed till like that wan hahahh.... I do controlled breeding ler, like you mah

I also got few pairs, only 4 small clans, come up also not even 30 gerbils hahaha.... but still.... now 40!!! plus mine? Wah.... 60 over gerbils in my house later....

Yah loh, I will be getting 8 for adoption next week.... so means gonna have 68 gerbils LOL.

Anyway, all also common colours.... but I think got lilac and argente also in the 40.... see how, maybe next weekend or the week after next will go collect the 40 gerbils.

Sure, will let you know. I think gonna have many males and females lah.... condition I do not know how they are but I suspect they won't be tame like the gerbils you guys get from me or Foo or Jas....

If wanna adopt can lah, but I'll update you guys later on how everything goes.

Pedigree dogfood has by products, better give a better brand. Normally I will go and ask petshops to give me samples, and 1 pack of samples can last for months!

Some samples are small packs, so get a few. Normally petshops do not mind. Say you not sure if your dog likes or not so need some samples.

You only need to give your gerbil about 1 or 2 kibble a day... so can last right?

Hahah.. like that also got. Well, some are concern, but you just say back that the dogfood your dog eating is not giving good results lah. Say the poo watery or your dog drop more fur than usual. Then you can say brands like California Natural or NutriSource.... I normally go and say "Got any samples?" And they will give hahahah...

No breeding. Coz the 40, I suspect all inbreeding coz all in 1 tank, from 1 pair multiply to 40 I think.... or it could be 2 pairs into 40 gerbs.... so since inbreeding has weaken the gene, better not breed.

The other 8 are for none breeding, well, according to the current care taker.

Pet Family has 2 Argentes and 2 lilacs.... but they are very skinny and jumpy.... body size quite small. RM28, just saw them just now.

Sure sure. Once I get them, will put some pictures up for adoption.

48 of those I won't keep loh... hahaha... can really really pengsan... I just help rehome.

Yah, really need them to go to good home loh..... If the males not that many, I may ask the vet I know to help me neuter them hahahah.... see how lah. Then at least there won't be anymore breedings.

2 owners gave up liao, don't want to keep gerbils anymore.. so all also passed to me. Some people lah, never control breeding, then they breed and breed and breed.... till got problem them don't want liao.

Hahah... I know a vet who neutered her hamster and fat tail gerbil.... she gonna neuter my fat tail gerbil also.... but I have to discuss with her if she can do or not lah coz gonna be a few.

Neutering a sugar glider at Dr Yeoh is about Rm200..... LOL.... expensive rite?
