I used to get dried branches for them to chew from the local field. Nowadays seldom adi coz I'm not sure how clean are those branches, haha

haha the boy so concentrated on the roll

Hi Emino, how are your gerb boys doing?

My lazy boys taking a nap

Aiyoh, something really dangerous just happened to my gerbil just now.

I throw toilet rolls in a few of my gerbil tanks then I was preparing to go to bed. Minutes later I heard a loud sound coming from one of the tanks. One of my gerbils had gotten herself stuck in the toilet roll and was jumping around the tank with the hind feet banging into everything. Her entire front half was stuck inside. I got her out and tried to pull her out but she was stuck fast. She went all limp and I was starting to panic coz I thought she cannot breath or something. I cut the toilet roll and tore it apart. Actually took quite some time coz she was stuck very tight and I'm scared I will cut her, so I just make a very small cut and then peel n tear the roll off piece by piece. Once shes free immediately she sprang back to life and started to run around.

Cannot imagine what might have happened if I was not around, she might have died I think if she remain like that till morning.

So far this never happen to me b4, this is the first time. You guys better be careful when givign toilet rolls too..maybe better to cut a line down the roll like they do for hedgies to minimize chances of getting stuck.
