One of my gerbils just starting attacking the other. Why would he do this?

Question

I bought my 2 male gerbils in Dec 07. They have always been kept together. The one is attacking the other one. I seperated them now.

Answer 1

Kill them both, they are rodents... just put some poison in their cage.

Answer 2

well now they have been but in a box and shook around a little and dont remember there home that much. so when they get in the cage they are standing their ground. so slowly have them meet again BUT NOT IN A CAGE they will fight  again like in a container with like something see~through for a few days then take out the thing seperating thwm when they are in the comtainer.  BE CAREFUL gerbils will fight to the death.

Answer 3

well first unless you have had gerbils for many years and you know every thing there is to know about them,you need to start off with 2 girl gerbils.they are nicer and they dont attack each other like the guy gerbils do.second you need to get the gerbils from the same litter.third if you seperate them they can get bad deppression and die. so you need to get rid of the gerbils(NOT KILLING THEM) and get female gerbils.

Answer 4

Must have been an insult about his mother.
