  1. They could have mites or some kind of skin infection.  Get them out of their cage ASAP and clean it out.  Disinfect the cage with some bleach and wash it out very well.  If any of the gerbils do not have hair loss keep them separate from the other gerbils.

    Next step would be to either see a vet or call one to get some advice on whether or not your gerbils need to be looked at.  

    ***What bedding are you using for the cage?


  2. could it be the mange  

  3. i would take them to the vet!and soon!!or you could go to the pet store and tell them whats happening!they might have sme medicine or advice for you!
