Help! My small pet Gerbil dehydrated. What should I do?

Question

What should I feed him and what should I do to save his life?

Answer 1

How did he end up dehydrated? Is he drinking? Get him to drink. If he won't drink try some sugar water to entice him. If you can get him to eat some fruit that will also help rehydrate him since most fruits have a high moisture content. If he's really bad, you need to get him to the vet for sub q fluid injections.

Answer 2

take it to a veternarian quickly :O

Answer 3
