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
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....
