I want some help on gerbils!?

Question

I have 14 gerbils(they had babys!)and I was wondering if I could have some ideas for things to do with them(They are 1 month and older)like is there any good games to play with them???I would also like to know what is a good way to make sure that I pick them up for a good amout of time!

Answer 1

get a tube maze and cages so they each have at least one square foot of space. I like to setup a carpet area with the kids sitting as corners with their legs spread apart and let them all run around-

Answer 2

You sound pretty darn busy.

You could put them in your bathtub for about 30mins everyday. Put some fun games like cardboard. Or some small flower pots. While they are in the tub put your hand in there with a treat, show them all the treat and move it around they will follow and start to think when ever you have your hand in there they might get a treat! I would try to adopt them out when they are ready to go. Sell them in pairs for $5-$10. I'm going to be breeding soon, probably around Christmas.

Anyway hope this helped!

Answer 3

well it is a good idea to handle them regularly and get them people friendly. then you can use run-about-balls. I know this sounds hard, and it will be quite a job, but you should handle each on for roughly 10-15 minutes each day

Answer 4

Hey, if we lived in the same area, I'd love to take one or two. Sell them, for about 8 dollars each!
