Does my gerbil have a cold?

Question

my gerbil has a wet nose and seems to be acting weird. He is a father and i don't want him spreading it the babies if he has one. what should i do! (ps he's not cold)

Answer 1

If you have any doubts take him out of the cage and put him in cage by himself in  completely different room or even a different house to quarantine him for a bit. Make sure he has plenty of fresh food and water and maybe some vegetables. Nothing green and leafy or really juicey

Answer 2

Aww... cute. A little sneezy gerbil.

The baby gerbils don't have to be with the father do they? Just put him in a different cage until he looks better.

Answer 3

i have a hamster but i dont kno much about gerbils

u might want to take it to a vet or research it online

my first hamster got wet tail [a disease hamsters get] and it acted wierd and idk remember the symptoms but better safe than sorry

Answer 4

Gerbils are mammals the same as human beings. They are subject to the same illness that we get. So, yes, your gerbil may very well have a cold. If it is showing symptoms, it is too late for the little ones. A couple of weeks and all will be well.

Answer 5

yes my gerbil had 1 o those but he died from that =[
