hmmm... i am new gerbil owner, but i know sometime rodents grow weird thing.

Kelvin, i bought the gerbil d , not red eye. Seapark there....irene aquarium. I dono is argente or honey.

One thing i noticed bout this new two gerbil...they always have sleepy eyes....even while do digging =_= and one sleep like human.....compared to yours is fully alert and active when their awake.

ps: i no sell centipede....they are free..i caught em.

one is kinda normal i check today..the other gerbil mostly half eye close..but kinda active...drinking, eating....hiding food... compulsive digging....only open full eye when startled or curios... i tot they were kinda lazy. But after feedback from u all, i kinda need take close attention.

Kelvin: thx for the info, i do not wish to introduce them yet,is a gift for someone

Adriane1707: Agree to what u said, the gerbil i bought for kelvin is lively and active.

Thanks guys! for the advice, will post pic soon.

Here some pic of sleepy eyes gerb i bought for gf

Is this normal for gerb sleeping?


The 2 of em


is it a argente or honey eye?

ps: Kelvin your gerbs is very active, jumping and thumping after i change new bedding. But i find them still kinda thin although the food i left always eaten.

The 4 femala a....super active...plan no separate them...cant bare....kinda like em wonder gerbils....like climb my hand once they are at it..they climb real fast to my back too.

ya they both male have real sleepy eyes.....quite worried if they something wrong.....but since i put a coconut for it to hide they suddenly very hardworking do digging.... i use the stack method to put food dish but they also stack woodchip higher cover the food dish....i stack again then they stack again somemore...alamak .

do any of your gerbil sleep like squatting with head snug between the hind legs... like kowtow...

but i guess i am late sleeper and the light in my room might cause it...maybe a silly question...anyway is it good for em?
