Red tears, dust irritation..... what you can do is use a cotton bud, wet it and clean the eyes. Should be no problem.

Hi,

I've read through the Gerbil Hut V5, i would like to summarize what i understand till now cause i'm waiting to get a pair of gerbils from crazymouse (or Hun). Currently waiting for the new batch of spotted black  biggrin.gif

Do correct me if i get anything wrong.
Requirements for starters:
- Tank => 2ft
- Bedding => No pine & cedar, no flavoured & perfume beddings. Recomended are Chipsi Classic, Super / Corn Corb, Delikate
- Hay => Alfafa, Thimoty, Kool Bunny, Hay Pro, Comfort Hay
- Food => Prestige, Britter Bunny, Harry Hamster
- Snack => Royal Canin, sun flower seeds (no salt and preservatives)
- Vegetable => No cabbage (from nezu i think), orange, pineapple or sour fruits. Choy sum, carrot, apple .... Can i give Guava?
- Water Bottle => Critter Canteen (won't leak)
- Sand Bath => Delikate Snowy Sand Bath. No dust type .... How do i know which type of sand is dust type?
- Toys => No plastic.

Did i miss anything important?

Currently i'm working in Penang, can all these item be found at Penang or Butterworth? Cause i went to a 3 storey big pet shop in Georgetown, i can't seem to find any of those items especially bedding and food.

Thanks.

What you listed is ok already.... for snacks, you can add cashew nuts too. Remember, as long no salt and no oil.... is ok. Organic stuff are great, I always get some nuts and seeds from organic shop.

You can't find stuff at Penang? Hmmm... Well, the Critter Canteen is sold in KL.... I can get hold of it for you when you are ready to take your gerbils. Even the food, you can also get from me first as well as bedding.

The sand bath, it will be printed as Sand bath.... dust bath will say Dust bath.

You can give gauva, it has minerals and vit C and I think calcium too.... as long it's not sour fruits then it is ok....

Sometimes it can be bullying. If you think it is the food problem, increase the amount of food you place in the tank. Also, include fiber like fruits and vegie, increase carbs.... stale bread will help.

Britter Bunny, to me is more like supplement coz the pellet is mainly made of corn. It can help in building bulk but never use as a staple.

Good Morning Everyone!

Hun, Meezu and Kayla wont climb up my hand. They just smell then walk away. Yesterday Meezu bites me. Not sure if it's bites but can feel little pain.

How long they need to be closed to me?

Ah... they need time to adjust loh. Firstly, you are new stranger to them so you must earn their trust. Handfeed their favourite food, you can handfeed the kuaci and see. Gerbils won't bite... more like nip. Maybe you hold her in an uncomfortable way or terfrigthen her so that is why she nip.... nevermind wan ahahah.... all gerbils take time to adjust.

haha, nvm la. I'll just add some food everyday to make sure they have enough food. Mayb when i change the bedding i can find all food under the bedding.  tongue.gif . But i still see them eating la. So i think it's still ok.

And sometime when they meet each other, Meezu will put her head on top of Kayla. Looks like wan fighting. But they dont stand there and stare at each other. But they still sleep together. Is this just normal? They are just playing with each other?

Both sisters loh, been with each other since born. More like playing than fighting hahaha.

Thanks for the offer  biggrin.gif

But can i know which pet shop in KL has the most of the stuff that i need? Such as bedding, food and basic stuffs.
Need to know the place or else won't know where to get it next time...  tongue.gif

I've been to The Curve one, if not mistaken is it Pet Safari?

Thanks

Go to Pet Safari... it is at Ikano, next to the Curve. You can find everything there but the safe wood shavings. Hay, food stuff, bottle and wooden houses all sold there but the wood shavings, sad case there since all mostly pine which is not safe for gerbils.

Today Bubble's eye is worst. Yesterday it was normal to me, the growth didn't cause any problems till today. The growth has now pushed her eye ball upwards, causing an infection. I can see eye dirt, means got puss behind her eye, most likely in her eye socket. She is partially blind, eye is bluish grey already. I'm so shock, how can all this happen overnight???

Tomorrow, Bubbles is going for surgery.... well, hopefully can help.

Yah... spoke to a friend who is a vet. She say may have to cut an incision to extract out the puss.... if there really is a tumour, it would be hard to remove since tumours have blood vessels which can be dangerous to remove on such a small animal.... well, see how it goes. Bubbles will most likely have a surgery on Monday and can only get her back after a week coz vet needs to monitor.

Today didn't manage to bring Bubbles to the vet, too late liao so have to go early tomorrow. Feel very pain when see her in that condition, sigh.... even the surgery is risky coz she may not wake up from the operation..... and being the face, it is riskier...

Pet Family got a few gerbils, 1 only has a half tail, I think that is a Sp Agouti.... but it has terrible bloody nose. Poor things. Alot of petshops have no idea how to care or hold gerbils.... so it is kinda pitiful to see them sold at petshops sometimes.
