Is my gerbil's nose supposed to be wet

Question

my one gerbil's nose is damp but the other's isn't. is it a bad sign or something?? they are both only a couple months old. i bought them like two weeks ago and they are kinda small. im not really sure about there exact age, that's one thing that i didn't ask the guy there. he seems normal except that he doesn't want to be picked up. he's eating fine and drinking water, and he's also running on the wheel.

Answer 1

I wouldn't be too worried yet. If any other symptoms develop like sneezing or wheezing - then take her to the vet as she may have a respiratory infection which will require antibiotics to clear up.

Keep them off any dusty bedding aswell, and make sure they are kept out of very cold temperatures and drafts.
