you are serious in breeding your gerbils..

so cute...

hi everyone...!! I'm new to Gerbil...and i found them really cute and interesting creatures...so i plan to have a pair of them by next month ... i hope you all can help me with tips and advice on how to take care of 'em!

i'm planning to have a pair....male and female...do you think its ok to put in 1 tank? i heard some of gerbils are solitary like syrian ham ham..is that true?

hi kaoru. just read through the whole 1st page of this thread.
if there got any question then you just ask here. we will help you as much we can.

you wan to keep a breeding pair? i suggest not to. cause gerbils is easy to breed, not say very easy, but still...
so suggest you keep in same sex pair, male male or female female.
since you are new in keeping gerbils, so is advisable to be like that.

you can go to breeding progress once you know all the gene about the gerbils, that need a lot of reading, if you don't believe, you can ask kelvin or dien about it.

just keep it in same sex pair, and not mind if i ask, where you going to get your gerbils from?
prefer you get from breeder over here, like kelvin.
cause most of the pet shop one not healthy and the gene of the gerbils is off the track already, a lot of them is inbreed one, so easy to die, easy to get sickness and all.

i see.... thank you very much for ur info. I read the guides on 1st page when i first take a peek into this thread...and i makes me wanna have gerbils so much...so cute....! currently have 3 syrian ham ham nas 2 GPs

i see...so izzit ok to put 2 males in 1 tank?

i will get them from one of the breeder in this forum too...that is if he/she agree to sell the cuties to me...

i just abit sad coz gerbills are kinda expensive to me....unlike ham ham or GP...now i'm looking ofr sum1 who can let me adopt/but with a beginner/less prize...

any suggestion or offer please pretty please PM me...i just can wait to have those cuties...

just read through the 1st page, all info are there, even if you want to DIY some stuff like showed there also can, cause me myself diy the water bottle cage and the wheel.

gerbils is totally different with hamster (correct me if wrong), they are not smelly at all, you can smell it, after like 2 month or 3 month then only got smell, as for mine is like that, but i change the bedding every month.
since it is sort of desert animal, it can stay without drinking for few days, gerbils do drink water, but it can 'tahan' if there is no water supply. compare to hamster, you are hamster owner, you sure know right. i have hamster as well, so compare it, woah, but too bad my hamster die of old age already. gerbils also is social kind pet, you can pet it and all and gerbils not so bitty compare to hamster, gerbils seldom bite, can be said none, unless being attack or provoke. there got lots of benefit, you read through this thread then you will know.

ya, is ok to put a pair males or a pair females. if you get both males from separate place, you need to do some introduction, cannot straight put together, will have some fight and sometimes it lead to dead. the info about introduction to gerbils already written in 1st page.

just get from breeder in this forum,like kelvin or nezumitaro and few others. the price is way different from outside. if i not mistaken, if the price not change, one pair is just about rm 40 from breeder. last time got 3 gerbils of mine bought from pet shop, each cost rm 45. some of it goes to rm 60. i not sure about kl area now.

thank a bunch!!!!!! i got really shocked when you say a pair can get with rm40...when i try to ask around some forum member here they try to sell 1 for rm150++....is that really the market prize...? really shock.....

yeah from what i read, they are very different compare to syrian ham ham, and it is very tidy creature too! i will try to PM the breeders you mention, really hope i can get my own gerbils soon...

thanks again!! once i got my gerbil frens i'll post their pics here...

welcome kaoru himura

hope u can get a healthy active gerbils

tq tq...! nezumitaro-san, if you have gerbil for sale do reply my PM ya!

rm 150??? do you sure that is gerbils? or you mean fat-tail gerbils?
if fat-tail gerbils then you can get it, consider cheap, cause if not i mistaken, fat-tail gerbils cost about rm 3XX.
although fat-tail gerbils is cute, but mongolian gerbils are cute as well.
i love both my yuki and kioko, which got it from hun last time.

by the way, if you happen to know who is hun, she kept damn a lot of pets.
her house is like a zoo, i never go to her house before, as what i heard, is like a zoo, got chance i sure want to go and see. she got kept about 20 kind of pet if i not mistaken.

Paiseh la. I am just a beginner too. Not too expert like Nezu n Hun yet la.. But trying to give them the best la..

My female clan starts to declan last 2 weeks, i done everything i can to make them unite, but failed.. So the 4 siblings [2 agouti n 2 black] will be put on sale, they r stressed now, n become thin d.. So i wana pump them first before putting them to new homes.. Hopefully got ppl wana have them.. Huhuhu

usually the price of gerbil depends on its color..
the lowest price is for black and agouti in color..

Hahaha.. If you're interested few months back, may be nezu still have some to be sale. But too bad that she has stop breeding gerbils now.

i reply ur pm b4 this post? don't tell me pm missing again! i mean me again not u hahaha.. cos i kena once b4 pm hilang.
