Answer 3

All rodents nip people when they smell food, and they think fingers are their snacks lol.  It's perfectly normal.  As long as your sisters finger isn't infected she'll be ok=)

Answer 4

it`s fine.  your gerbil probably thought it was just food.  

Answer 5

Hi!

Nothing happens when a gerbil nips you.  Sometimes they can mistake you for food.  If it cuts the skin, then just disinfect it, and it will be fine.  Hope this helps!

Answer 6

he probably just got a nip of her finger trying to get the snack is all.

Answer 7

Don'tt be worried, It will just be a small scab in a couple of days just makes sure that you clean out the cut with a antibacterial solution such as Savlon wound wash or Detol to avoid infection .

Answer 8

if it didnt cut it it should be fine if it did cut it i would make sure you clean it very well or it will get infected
