HELP. HELP me with SPLIT TANK for GERBILS!?

Question

Hellpp.

They don't seem to be paying ANY attention to each other in the split cage, let alone sniffing or exchanging salvia like the sites say they should.

I will answer any questions in extra details.

They're two males, one at about five/six months, and one at about three months.

Answer 1

Try rotating who is on which side. And leave them alone for some time to get used to everything in general around them. ^^ Good luck!

Answer 2

Try introducing them in a neutral place, without any toys.

Have a pair of gloves handy, and let them say hello.

If they are not even concerned in the split cage, they may just be young enough to introduce that way.

If you have been switching them back and forth the new smell should not bother them.

Keep in mind there will be a little bit of chasing and boxing, but if they go for the neck and curl into a ball, then is the time to separate.

How long has it been so far?
