i'm trying to find the clearest storage box..  sweat.gif

hey!, some storage box is almost as clear as aquarium. Just need to burn many holes at the top & some at the side (top part only). Ideal for keeping gerbils.

Got back from Singapore on Saturday..... so weird.... there were so much pet stuff that I really dunno what to buy!!! In the end, I only bought 2 wooden ladders for my gliders and a packet of dried tropical fruits from Marukan hahahah..... nothing much.... but seriously, I was damn amazed by the variety..... but weird weird thing.... no gerbils! My friend brought me to I think almost 10 petshops..... but no gerbils....

I also heard from someone(maybe from you Hun wink.gif, but I could be wrong), that singapore got gerbils because someone just breeds and breeds.

Singapore do have gerbils, more than Malaysia.... but I heard many hobbyist breeders are going slow or quitting.... the gerbil market is not so good because... well, you guess it lah, over breeding and price unstable, then of course hamsters are way more popular there. I did see alot of hamsters in the petshops..... and I really want a white faced robo now hahaahh....
*
ya lor, breeders there should set up some sort of association to protect their interest.

nezu, wat i meant was, i have 2 gerbils now. i want to add 2 more into the tank. my tank is big enough for 3-4 gerbils. big storage box. well, the problem is, i am afraid that if i just dump the 2 new gerbil into the tank, they will fight. how do i put those 2 new gerbils without causing much problem?
*
JonYeap, never never do that, sure gerbil war .... they will fight till geath ... they actually can gang up and fight their enemy.


Added on May 28, 2008, 8:41 amJonYeap, two is enough .... why you need more? are they same sex?

JonYeap, if possible, just don't put them together. Better to keep them in 2 cages.

Dogfood lack protein? Dogfood has good amount of protein and carbs as a supplement for gerbils. Yes, mealworms may have protein, is memang good to give mealworms to gerbils, rats, hamsters and other small mammals but the fat content is very high. There is a limit. Also, gerbils don't need so much protein coz they are grain eaters, mealworms is more important for animals or reptiles that mainly eat insects and require a high amount of protein.
*
dog food memang got protein, hun, just that gerbils don't like them ... as you said , they are seed eater.

hahaha... i memang agree.

just that when nezu said mealworm is mostly FAT. I disagree .... because it was obvious mealworm got more protein than fat.
