     Extractions: An obvious sign of his frustration is his constant attempt to dig at the corners of his unsuitable cage. This is not because he is trying to escape! He is simply following his desire to tunnel to create a safe home for him and his family. All the while he is frantically digging through his sawdust he is inhaling the tiny dust particles into his lungs. Sawdust or shavings are therefore an unsuitable substrate to use. When choosing a gerbil as a pet purchase two of the same sex as when infant they will grow up happily together. Gerbils are sociable creatures when raised together in pairs or in groups but never introduce a new Gerbil to an adult one as they will fight viciously. The ideal home for Gerbils is a 3'-4' fish tank The bigger the better. A wire mesh frame should be placed on top of the tank to ensure good air circulation. A platform should be made of wood with a ramp leading up to the platform on which you will place the food and water or a water bottle can be hung from the mesh top. The tank should then be filled with a mixture of mainly peat with added wood shavings and hay. This mixture should fill the tank approx. 3/4 full just below the platform. Pat it all down tightly, add your gerbils and sit back and watch with fascination your little pets tunneling to their little hearts content, you will never see a happier Gerbil. One of the benefits you will gain from keeping your Gerbils this way is that you will only need to clean the tank out about three times a year. Another is that you will be able to watch your pets through the glass creating their tunnels and watch them curled up in their underground nest fast asleep. Don’t forget to add fresh bedding hay once and a while.

     Extractions: How to care for a gerbil Tips on health, handling, nutrition, choosing the right cage and equipping the gerbil's home. Gerbils are similar to mice but have fuller cheeks, longer hind legs and tufted tails. They are sociable rodents and like company. They recognize family and kinship. The females are less quarrelsome than the males. Gerbils are equally active in the day and night. They get along fine with one another. They are natural burrowers and jumpers so caution must be taken when selecting the housing. Decide upon the number of gerbils you are keeping before buying the secure enclosure. A bigger space will give your gerbil/s room to exercise. Overcrowding or cramped housing quarters cause the animals to become aggressive and fight each other. A cramped enclosure is not conducive to breeding. bodyOffer(16673) Your pet shop can advise you on the correct cage size for the required number of gerbils. A suitable cage should include the running wheel, raised platforms, a nesting box, food bowl and water container. You can also use hamster cages with habitat tube systems. Your gerbils will enjoy the tubes as they resemble burrows and tunnels. Another choice of enclosure is the aquarium tank. As gerbils live burrowing, you can use this type of tank to put in a deep layer of bedding for them to burrow. Make your pet's home interesting by providing plastic toys, tubes, small plastic containers and chewing toys. For general health and hygiene, change the bedding daily and throw away moist, unfinished food and raw decaying matter. Every fortnightly, scrub your tank clean. Put your gerbils in a temporary enclosure such as a cardboard box. Worn-out toys must be discarded. Wash re-usable stuff with mild detergent to kill the bacteria and germs. Dry everything thoroughly and " renovate " your gerbil's home with fresh bedding, toys, food and water. Take this opportunity to also bathe your pet. It is easier and healthier to start everything on a clean slate.
