if u stright from kl to penang.. wrape with newspaper can tahan, as long as u do'nt put under the sun. once home u pop it in the freezer. it can keep for 2 mths from made date.

how is ur gerbil teeth ah? he eating?

if u need th epowder form of food, do let me know b4 u come. cos i don't stock those in pet shack.

He is still eating, previously loves to eat kuaci alot.... But now he seems to eat only a few. But he eats vege powder and fresh fruits.

Will monitor him for a while and keep you updated.

I will let you know if I need those because I'm going down KL next week.

ok ok..
just let me know ok can sms me also.

During last weekend, after some struggling and some nipping from him, i found out that the upper tooth is gone, lower tooth is overgrown. I will bring him back to KL for tooth trimming + checkup this week.

But he dislike hard food now, currently feeding him with Vege powder, bread and some fresh fruit/vege.


Any recommended vet around KL for gerbils? I will PM Hun to ask for vet recommendation.

Thanks.

vet don't help much dear. if timming ok u can bring to me.

Yes. Go find nezu. My 2 boys also have teeth overgrown issue. 1 boy manages to grow back the upper teeth. Teh Boy doesn't and he needs frequent teeth trimming now.

Thanks. I will contact you in PM.

Maybe I will have to learn how to trim it myself too


Edit: Does this involve nail polisher?

a small nail cliper will do the job.

Everywhere i go.. Delikate bedding out of stock =_= Anyone know where got stock??

delikate old of stock for mths.. try use BC.

BC?? Breeder Celect? I m using a 2ft glass tank btw..

Delikate will be out of the market indefinitely. Even the manufacturers cannot tell you when the stock will come.

I think BC is pretty cost efficient as it lasts quite some time.

gerbil lalallalala

Yesterday another one of my gerbil is bleeding from his ear....

After initial inspection, it seems that he is bleeding due to a scratch from his earlobe. Used a damped cotton bud to clean it up and the bleeding seems to stop.

This morning he is bleeding again, is this because he is scratching his ear too much? Maybe it is because of mite?

Can i apply antiseptic creams to his wound?

2ft glass tank also can use ah.. no problem...

possible get a photo? does he swing his head? if its ouside then u can apply abit cream. if he swing his head or sengat head. means inside got things.
