looks like a lot of ppl starting to get busy again... haha...
gambate to all...

the price market range from 48-68... some even reach 100, as i found in malacca here...

kamikazwe... so long didnt see u come up here already...
how r u and your gerbils now???

haha, online game... i also addicted back already, now with xdo, audition, cabal and maple, haha... [off topic]

making u dizzy? haha... is very fun when seeing them do all the thing, digging, stomping, jumping... quite fun, and when seeing them keep thinking why they keep on do all this thing... haha...

how many gerbils u keep? 2 only right ? then 2ft is enough already lo, unless u wanna put lot of toys inside...
or u can diy yourself, link your 2ft tank to another 2ft tank... haha...

-nos-, not said 100% wont bite, but then chance of not biting is more than 90%... they will bite when the time the owner hold them not properly or wat...
or when u keep on hold them while they wanted to explore, they might bite...
or the most thing, when the gerbils not bond with u, then they might bite...
but all and all, gerbils seldom bite. can said up to 100% didnt bite, jus like mine one... even when my fren hold also didnt bite....

kamikaze, u get wat order from hun oh? tank? or gerbils ?

rice jus for treat only, not the staple food...
give rice once or twice a week then can, cannot as everyday food

from the picture, if i not mistake, left is sp agouti, then center is black, then the right one is nutmeg...
u check the left one see whether the under fur is wat colour, if grey than is agouti. due to he/she have white spot, then is sp agouti.
then center obviously is black lo...
then the right one u check under fur is it orange? if yes then might be nutmeg...

masculine, i check back some info, i think yours is not nutmeg, in fact is dark eye honey... nice one...

for the gerbils that u mean 3 like father, 1 like mom, and 1 more to tan...
i guess, 3 is agouti, 1 is black then the last one might be lilac, i not really sure about it...
need to wait foo for the answer, she more expert in gene, haha...

haha, i wan to get deh though... me here in mlk hard to get...
last time lucky for me get pied lilac and also yellow fox... haha

gerbils didnt bite... where got bite unless u handle in not a proper way...

phew, scared me when u said bite, manatau is chew...
gerbils is chewer... anything u put inside they will tends to chew it...
but not all thing, mostly plastic material or paper or card material they will chew a lot...

talk about gerbils bite, as mention in some previous post, they jus nib...
if they really really feel threaten, then they will bite or jus run away...
most of the time jus nip...
u nee to handle the gerbils quite often then only u know how to take the gerbils...
those gerbils in pet shop or new, they dunno about u, so thought u a big monster for them, then they jus run lo...

but sometimes it depends on the gerbils characteristic... some of them do chew a lot, some of them didnt chew at all... jus like one of my gerbs...
he dun like chew... other than chew, when i give mealworms, he jus sniff then go away... haha...

yaya, important thing is whether the mom can support all of them or not...
these few days the pups need to be monitor lo, once feel the mom didnt take care or nursing the pups, then u have to take out and do nursing by yourself lo...

kelvin, by now u jus monitor 1st... important do remember to separate the father from the clan oh... jus leave the pups and mom...
if not then after 3 week got the other batch again... if u wan like that can, but then the mom wont sufficient to support the coming batch...
do update us at here with your pups lo...

sorry to hear that kelvin... jus hope the other pups all will be ok...

abg bro, u mean u take out the pup and feed it with milk also ?

ooo, too bad to hear that...

haih... ystd like got 'shinigami' come my house, 2 of my hamster died, and 1 of my gerbils die as well...
damn sad...

masculine, finally u find the pet shack, i thought u go there b4 one?
yaya, some of the gerbils dun like the vege powder, since they not vege type one.

yaya, the thing is that u need to monitor it, no matter is the mother or the pups...
for mother u need to check whether she have to sufficient nutrition and energy to take care the batch of pups.
then for the pups, u need to check whether they get to nutrition they need..

jus refer to the 1st page, there got a lot info.
it is call introducing process.
if without proper introduce, will have a gerbils war.
way on how to do introduce got at the 1stpage.

woah, not bad wor, detail up on the lifestyle... keep it up.
so now u like addicted to breeding gerbils with gene already is it...
not bad not bad, i long time wan to breed one, but then due to the place and also the time then i prefer duwan unless i get my own house next time lo.

tips ar... need to refer to information lo...
but then most of the reason is that the mother lack of nutrition to support the pups,
the nutrition she have jus sufficient to support her own so she abandon the pups, that's is wat i think.
there got few other reason, but mainly u need to check on the gerbils itself.

yaya, they do eat mealworms, but it depends on the gerbils characteristic, some of them eat, some of them not.
for mine one, some of them eat some of them not, and special is where my yuki and kioko like mealworms a lot, sometime when i give them small cricket, they sapu also...

for protein right, u can feed via mealworms, dog/cat kibbles or even animal milk powder.
for mealworm, when u give, eventually the gerbils become big, but then more likely become fat compare to have more protein
as tikusniaga said, mealworms have more protein compare to fat, is true on statically, but that is the larva itself, havent count in the immune and digest system of the gerbils, which that nezu said that mealworms have more to fat
i previouly not believe, so i try on my own, the gerbils do become bigger, but then not strong, u can feel the fat, so later i reduce the mealworms already, now ok already, if not, obesity.
dog/cat kibble can give also, but same thing, depends on the gerbils characteristic, gerbils mainly on grain, so sometimes a lot of them dun like dog/cat kibble, jus like mine, all dun like.
for the animal milk powder, i havent try it b4, but then due to research, it can be given, and mostly the animal will accept, since is made for animal. and from there, it can gain more compare to get from grains or larva.

got dog kibbles, dun get alpo, those alpo or pedigree which sell in supremarket one ar, and is made from thailand ar,
not good for gerbils, coz due to dog if they keep on eating, will get rock liver, sort of.
get a better brand for dog/ cat kibbles.

andfor the food be be burried under the bedding, is usual, and is normal.
if u see a gerbils didnt use bedding can cover the food or anything, that is abnormal...
dun worry about that, some times u jus dig out the bedding and check whether they still got food or not,
if not then jus put again the food.

hhaha, nice joke with the over feeding of your family...

for the food dish right, u can diy yourself so that the food bowl is hanging on top, then u wont scared the bedding will get inside the food dish lo...
if u duwan food dish, then u throw inside, once in a while u go and dig up the bedding, then check whether still got food or not...
other than u can jus put in every few days one once or per week with certain amount of food.
depends on how's your gerbils eat...
for me i always put amount for 2 till 3 weeks...then after that refill back again lo...

yoyo, long time didnt come up here already...
been busy with all the things... damn busy....
now consider ok a bit, later not sure will get busy again.
how's everyone, how's all the gerbs?
good good ???
