Need to give gerbil a water bath...?

Question

my gerbil got maple syrup on it's fur, and i don't think a sand bath would get it off, what do i do?

Answer 1

Not give her a bath in water

every her a sand for a FEW DAYS in her cage,

after that with some time it will come out on it own

don't cut it

what were you doing with the maple and gerbil??

Gerbils don't drink that much just keep an eye on her

Answer 2

I'd call a vet for help. Or your local pet store. Bathing a gerbil is dangerous if you don't do it right. When they're wet, they can't get warm and can die. My sister tried that without proper knowledge and her gerbil died.

Answer 3

why not cut the fur where it is sticky if the hair is long enough

Answer 4

i don't know about the drinking thing but don't bath her in water. no, a sand bath will not remove that from her fur but, she will clean it out of her fur herself. if she doesn't drink for a long period of time, call a vet. water can make them ill and extrememly stressed. don't put her in water for any reason.

Answer 5

no you can not give her a bath a bath can give them upper respiratory problems also it can give them a cold she is fine gerbils are from mongolia and they don't need much water but just make sure she knows where her water bottle is

Answer 6

No dont give her a bath, she will clean it off herself.
