Answer 3

rodents are very social creatures. so keeping only one is  a BAD idea. get him a buddy. and get a runabout ball. they love them. also. try going into your bathroom and leeting him free rang play. and since rodents are burrowers. take a aluminum cooking pan, from the dollar store. and plant some grass in it. let the grass grow untill it gets at least an inch. and then let them play in it. they will have so much fun. thats what im going to do for my rats.

Answer 4

Well if you have all that then i dont see how your gerbil can be possibly bored.

Answer 5

I used to have gerbils and here are some tips:

-gerbils do better in groups so even just one other gerbil would be a lot better for him

-if you put branches in his cage he will climb on them and hide in them

-gerbils like to burrow so put a lot of bedding in his cage

-i used to have a hamster too and there are these little squares of fabric or something (you can find them at "petsmart") and he would chew them up and make a bed out of them

- gerbils love cardboard tubes like the toilet paper rolls so keep those in his cage

-if you can find a flat rock he might use it like a "look out point"

Answer 6

At pet stores, you can buy little sets with plastic snap-together shapes to make all different things for small pets to play with/climb on, etc. You could also try a seed treat stick. You hand it up on the top of the cage and it hands down for the gerbil to eat- I did this when I had a Gerbil. If he seems bored and a bit cooped up, buy a travel ball (you can also get ones that are as a front wheel on a motorbike). These are plastic balls that allow the Gerbil to roam freely around and not be harmed by anything around them (as he will be safely inside the ball). Don't worry, the ball has ventilation holes btw and is perfectly safe xD

Answer 7

you could try lots of places for him to hide, such as tubes under the sawdust (if you see what i mean) and hide treats around his cage to keep him entertained. they are very active, so this shuld keep him busy!

hope this helps!

Answer 8

Any other gerbils

People have to research there pets before they get them, Gerbil have to be  keep in same-s*x groups, gerbils on there own don't live as long and they make more mess than 2 gerbils.

You need a 10 US gallon tank for one gerbil and 5 more gallons for every gerbil after that.

Answer 9

have a look in a pet store. you could get some toy that he could chew like special sticks or something. Why not get him a friend so they can play together?

Give him some vegetables inside a toilet tube so that he can search for them.

You could get a cage attatchment too.

hope this helps

Answer 10

its obvious! a female gerbil will help him while away those boring times!!
