Basic Gerbil Care 🐁 | 5 Tips (for beginners) 

I just wanted to say thank you because ur the reason why my gerbils have such a great life! I watched tons of ur videos so now my gerbils have big enclosure and I love them so much💕🐹🐁

I used to have a pair of gerbils which looked very similar to your pair, and they were the sweetest creatures! I often held them while they cuddled in my palm, groomed each other, ate food, and even fell asleep in my hand. They loved to be gently stroked on the head and would sometimes fall asleep while chirping and purring when I pet them. They passed away after about 3 years...overall amazing pets!

I remember right before I adopted my first gerbils a few years ago I binge-watched your videos for months, and I learnt so much, they are so useful. I honestly don’t think they would have had anywhere near as good a life had i not been educated by you and I’m so thankful to you for spreading such important and useful info! Everyone who owns a small pet should have to watch your videos by law before they buy them lol, they’re seriously so good!!

You have so much love for a rodents. Plus you have a lot of knowledge about how to take care of them and you came up with your own food recipe for gerbils that's impressive.🐹🐰🐭

Ohh, I've actually thought about getting gerbils. Thank you for this video!

I still wonder where your cages are bought..? I love the designs

I'm so exited I'm getting gerbils in 4 days!

Thank you for all of your advice! One of my gerbils died yesterday but you are the reading that Smokey had such a great life. He lived up to 5 and a half years, which is very good. Thank you for all your videos x🙏

You Got 123K Subscribers! And Gest What? Nice Basic Gerbil Care!

i love your vids and i have two gerbils called pumpkin and oreo this as helped me so much Ty

Can you do a video on where you got your tank cages and lids, what you use for water bottles, how you spot clean large deep areas of substrate, how you don’t drop or lose gerbils or catch them if they get free. I remember having a gerbil as a child that would just up my arm to come out and see me but 5 mins of holding and she was off, she would launch herself on nearest table or floor space and she knew if she came back I’d put her away, treats didn’t work. I think my kids would struggle to handle them but beyond this I think they’re the perfect pet.

I have two gerbils and your advice works

I like your videos very much specially beautiful view of nature and your beautiful cat and rabbit you care your animals very well and I always like the music in your videos

Hi I commented on your last video this was really helpful thank you,so much I really appreciate this video 🙃🙃🙃

Thankyou for the advice! I'm getting gerbil's for my birthday

WHY AM I HERE I HAVE A HAMSTER 🐹😭 btw your gerbils are so friggin cute

I have these new gerbils and I feel I have not spent enough time with them. It’s been a year, i love them and I’m in my room a lot where they are and I do handle them etc, I just feel I’m not doing enough because one still bites and the other is a bit chill, but fat and the one that bites is skinny and idk man I just wanna give them the best life

Your gerbils is so cute😍

Your channel is fantastic

I might get a gerbil soon so I love your videos

i recommend adding more bedding in that habitat, gerbils like to dig a LOT

my gerbils are haveing the best life because u thank u so so much

Amazing!

i need help asap! my hamster, misty, has long nails which are starting to curl round, and idk what to do! some info on her: she is a 1 year old dwarf hamster and she is tame and has stopped biting. i would try and cut them myself but i dont trust myself. please help !!xx

Thank you so much

Hi! im destiny and im considering getting two gerbils for my room, it would mean alot if erins ark or anyone in the comments knew if it is okay to keep them in the dark for a short period of time. if its a long time i can buy a lamp for them but id just like to know if its important to give them a little bit of light if they need it when im gone for a short period of time or in the night. if anyone knows this or not it would be a great help if u informed me and thank you :3

Is a 40 gallon good

What niteangel cage would be great to have for gerbils

Very useful, thank you. I run tatty ratties sanctuary, we specialise in rats and mice generally, golden oldies, palliative care etc but have 2 male gerbils coming in tomorrow. I have a 100 x 50 set up for them to go in but they have been kept in a very small cage. Would I be best to put them in a medium size cage and then upgrade when I know they are settled rather than straight into the big set up?

How high should the terrarium be minimum? On the net I haven't really found one that's more than 50 cm, and I'm not sure if that's enough, because they need a big bedding.

I have two gerbils a white and grey on called cocoa and a brown and ginger one called willow

I have three gerbils, they’re all siblings and since we’ve had them since babies they’re so used to being held. They’re brown and look just like your brown one.

Also I just lost my dog January 14, 2022 and I’m posting this in February 1 and it’s been pretty hard not having it my dog around anymore she was a full blooded beagle and her name is Daisy Mae and she was six years old she died from responsive meningitis I don’t know how much you know about dogs meningitis and it can affect like their veins and stuff it’s got tons of other side effects and we had to have the option to put her down because she would have it a lot and she was also having Zaidi attacks whenever she was not close to us or with us so we had to make that decision the 14th and we had to take her to the vet and get her put down because she was in so much pain and she was hurting and she just kind of let us know that she was ready we trust that

I’m getting gerbils tomorrow

How do they deal with noise, example a vacuum

Hold up is no one going to talk about her rock 😱🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Dam 🔥🔥🔥 I love it and your accent and hair gurl 😍😍🔥🔥🔥 thank you for this video 🙏🏽🙏🏽 your gerbils are adorable 🥰 btw

WOW! WHERE DO YOU GET THE CAGES BEACUSE I LIVE IN NORWAY! 🙂😃

Hey, what do I use for flooring for them

personally i like to feed my gerbil with foods such as sweets, crisps and pop but i was also wondering if i can get some help with getting my gerbil to quit drinking and smoking as he is only 8

where do u buy your gerbilariums

A 300L (66galUK/80galUS) 4ft fish tank would be a great #Gerbilarium, but expensive, very heavy and impossible to fully clean. A bespoke 3mm #Perspex (#acrylic) enclosure is ideal: clear external base tray 123x20x51cm - for easy full clean of 20cm deep substrate; clear 4-sided (topless & baseless) centre piece 122x50x50cm, with a row of 1cm holes above the 20cm base tray line; clear lid with many 1cm holes 123x2x51cm. Probably >£300 though. Ikea #Detolf case is the best cheap gerbil enclosure, but you need to DIY a lid, with air holes.

Thanks I’m getting two gerbils for my bday

I didn’t know you still had gerbils nice to know thanks for the tips but I need help I was so close to having my gerbil tame I started to “pick them” up but now they lost trust and I’m back to the start

Is the Burgess gerbil pellets a good food? It's the one I have for my gerbils in getting soon as well as a pack of mealworms, sunflower seeds and millet sprigs

Hi! Nice video! I have a question, i see you use plexiglass in your large cage, is this ok for them? Don't they bite on the glass? Also, you use willow bridges and houses, do they last long? Or do they bite and chew on it so often that you have to buy new bridges and houses every few months? I guess if you give them enough "toys" (like cardboard and eggbox), they might chew less on the interior? Sorry for the bad english.

Oh my gosh I love you and your videos so much! I’m @jax.n.spot.gerbils from instagram! 😘❤️❤️❤️ your babies are so cute!

I love your gerbils 😍🤤

Hey, I have a food mix for them with seeds and grains and other food. They will eat the other food but they won't eat the seeds or grains. They absolutely love sunflowerseeds though. How can I make them eat the seeds too?

Do they like to cuddle or be held? I wish to play with them like normal rats would do

I've had 3 wheels so far for my gerbils, 2 plastic and 1 wooden. Every time they chew them up beyond repair within a couple of days! ☹️ I want to be able to give them more chance for exercise whilst they're not out of the cage. What would you recommend? 😊

Please can you do another all my pets video, particularly your guinea pig herd ❤️

Lindíssima 💕💕💕😊👏👏👏

🐭💜

How much do you feed them? With fresh veggies and fruit

Could u put the link of roadie pets company on your bio.

How long do ur gerbils typically live?

Saving this for later, a few years ago, my mom said I could get a gerbil, Idk if she'll still let me. But I'm gonna do my research before asking her

Don't gerbils chew through plastic cage bases? Such as the 100cm long #AlexanderCage & #BarneyCage. I saw some gerbils for rescue adoption, but my 100x45x50 Barney cage (great for all hamsters) is a bit small and I read that gerbils would eat through the plastic base.

Update my gerbil got really dehydrated it was too late so R.I.P night, I’m trying to get a new pair but I have to get a “loan” from my mom

I have 2 gerbils. One of them love to socialize and be held. The other one doesnt like to be touched or anything. How can i bond with both of them?

Not getting them but lovely creatures🥰🥰🥰🥰

me and my sister have decided to get some babies..... time for me to research obsessively!

what and where can you get those enclosures they are pretty cool

those tanks you have them in look great! where did you buy them?

hey ik im a year late but i recently got gerbils and was wondering what cage you have for your gerbils because i have 3 male brother gerbils in a small gerbilarium ive watched all the gerbil videos but i really want them to have a nice big cage

What tanks do you have for your gerbils? I'm hoping to get a bigger cage for my gerbils

I recently just got two female gerbils. However, randomly one of them just zones out and doesn't move or blink and is completely still for about 5 minutes. You could pick her up and she is still completely unresponsive, after 5 minutes she is fine and starts moving again. Is anything seriously wrong with her or is it normal?

Hi Erin, I have a cat and would like to get some gerbils, how do you think the gerbils would feel about a cat gawking at them through the glass? Do you think they'd get used to it?

I'm quite curious, did you make the cage or buy them somewhere? Because I have gotten a gerbil a month ago he's not quite a year old yet but he gets very aggressive, I'll try to put food in there for him and I'll get attacked.

where did you get your Cage I love it❤

hey guys! i have a problem that has been going on for a while now and would love some advice. i have 2 gerbils, one loves the wheel and the other doesn’t bother with it at all. the problem is the one that doesn’t like it uses it as a toilet! i looked up what to do and everyone said to clean the wheel and put the dirty tissues in a corner of the cage so he will start going there but it hasn’t worked. i have to clean the wheel multiple times a day, it makes their cage smell worse and also i feel bad for my other gerbil as he has to run in a dirty wheel! this has been going on for months now, any advice ?

Hi I have a question. We have a lot of spiders in our garden which is VERY ANNOYING. so would gerbils be able to eat spiders

Hi Erin I have recently bought my first gerbils and I was wondering if you could give me any advice on bedding material. I have tried paper and sawdust but it doesn't really work I have to hoover everyday! And also on toys the have just chewed everything I have given them. I love you and I want to have a channel like yours. How mutch are the cages and where did you get them from Thanks

My gerbil Dottie Lu has been housed my rat Splinter for a few years and she is very protective of her big brother and whenever I have him out Dottie looks for her big brother and gets sad

would an ikea detolf be suitable for a pair?

Where did you get your cages from

Does anyone have advice for bonding them, I have two from different litters and they kept fighting when they we’re together. I have separated them and both seem depressed without a play mate, buying two more gerbils isn’t an option, I’d love for them to be friends but I also don’t want to risk them hurting the other. Plz help 🥺❤️

ive had russian dwarf hamster in the past and now i have 2 gerbils, gerbils are BETTER

Hey Erin, I have a Question I was Thinking about Buying my Gerbils a 3 story cage.. with Bars, do you think that good for them? I would get sort of padding for the rails that have big squares and I would get like rat and ferret things that hang. Right now they live in a 10-gallon tank and there are only 2 females but I feel bad like there going around the same area over again. Please get to as soon as you can thank you for everything you do also its 24x16x24x16 I dont know how to do math lol but thats what the link said.

My adult female gerbil is alone (she was the submissive gerbil), do you recommend trying to bond her? Also ever since she was a baby she’s never played with any of her toys, I’ve tried so many different types but she doesn’t like them, what do you recommend?

Hi where can i find your shop site? Thanks in advance!!!
