Question

I'm wondering how to take care of my friends 14 gerbils(They had babys)beacuse his going on vacation and I'm taking care of them for 2 weeks!

Answer 1

did he give you thier feed in patterns

Answer 2

Jsut do what he told you to do. Do the best you can. Give them food water and clean their cage. If you see the adult Gerbils attack any of the babies take them out and put in seperate housing if possible. If they are still nursing though leave with the mom. Good luck to you.

Answer 3

make sure that there are not too many males in one container.. its best to seperate them.. females get along better but dont seperate them individually becuase they like company. Bedding is good for them to rummage and sleep in.. give them food once or 2 times a day make sure their water is always filled... keep their cage clean and they love paper towel rolls to chew on! have fun!
