nola won't fight.. they drink together.. LOL

an idea..
you might put some fresh carrot or sengkuang as a food and water supply for them..
as usual i do when i intro my gerbils..
who ever stays in the split cage, i'll supply them carrot or sengkuang..

The bottle for 10 minutes twice a day is ok. Gerbils are still desert animals, they can tolerate long hours without water. But do provide some leafy veggies too.

i give them apples actually.. haha.. but not too much right? read somewhere that rodents can develop diabetes.. O.o

Hahah... diabetes, that is more towards RC hamsters la.... but every fruit and veggie should only be given in moderation. Feed kangkung and sawi lah.

yaya, jus feed vege compare to fruit, mine one all like vege more compare to fruit... and they finish the vege faster, fruit they normally chew a while then duwan already...

hmm just now my dad just helped me to use the power drill and make a hole. hopefully it'll work properly.. =P

eventually, you made a hole..

One of my sakais died yesterday. Found him dead in a sleeping style. He was active as usual a day before. Didn't know the reason of death. He's not even a year old.

RIP Bengy..

Aiyoh, sorry to hear that.

Sometimes small animals can die for no reason.... It could be heart attack, stroke, some internal organ failed..... at least Bengy had a good home. RIP to him.

hey ppl! am new to the gerbil thread. plan to adopt 2 male gerbils from crazymouse. have been pm-ing her but maybe i can get faster replies if i post here.

is delikate bedding okay for gerbils?

and how to i make holes in my plastic tank for the water bottle, if i dont have any drilling thingy?

i went to pets family in klang and i dont think they have sand bath. can i get everything that gerbils need in pet safari, ikano?

thanks a bunch!!

yes most of us use delikate. erm.. no drill? use hot nail/screwdriver. Heat the nail or screwdriver over the stove until it's hot enough and burn a hole.

Pets family you mean at taman megah? The other day ( a week ago) I just saw the delikate snowy sand bath there. You can use that. Pet safari can get almost anything.. however imo, the price there a bit high. Hahah.. since I stay near the pets family i buy most of my stuff from there. Get membership card can get more dc.

sorry to hear that..
may him RIP..

okay delikate it is. and good idea on the hot screwdriver thingy. didn't think of that.

pets family in bukit tinggi, klang. i'm from klang and i have membership card too. maybe i will ask them if they will restock soon. thanks a bunch!

yeap you're welcome. btw it's not my idea.. i also learned it from people here at lowyat net. They're the one who taught me to burn. I dare not so I use drill.. haha..

@babymoli
Sorry for your loss.. may it RIP.

Pet Safari have most of the things you need.

I've been using Delikate bedding to, but was thinking to change to corn corb since i noticed the bedding is very very dusty. Even i can't stand the dust and keep sneezing everytime i change their bedding.



Oh yea....

Yesterday gave them some meal worms...... They are so happy eating it..... Cause after they ate, they jump here jump there lol....

How many time can i feed meal worms to them per week?

Aiya, drill is not nice. Those soldering heater is perfect for the job. Give you perfect hole all the time.

actually mine drill until very nice. lol.. the hole just ngam ngam round round wan. =)

i just realised... after putting 2 inches of bedding.. the hole for my water bottle is too low and might wet the hay. or the gerbils are too tall to drink from it. HOW???????? help!

and nezu also told me that i should feed them with an aroma burner. is this an aroma burner? if no, can someone show me what an aroma burner is?
