How to Keep Your Gerbils Busy | BOREDOM BREAKERS 

What’s your favorite boredom breaker?

Thank you, you and Victoria Racheal are the reason me and my friend have started are own RU-vid channel for hamsters and gerbils

i remember my first gerbil when i was like 6 he was honestly the biggest menace i have ever had he was given everything he needed so he was happy but didnt like interaction at all not even with his own kind, i remember the pet store telling us he would fight all the other gerbils for no reason at all

First off, I want to say, I LOVE your videos, they always have the perfect information, and the gerbils are just Sooooooo cute! (: I hope that you (and your gerbils) keep making these awesome videos!

Love this 💕you can really tell how much work you put into your videos x

Hey, thanks! I get so frustrated when people get animals like gerbils because they're "cute", without realizing that gerbils require specific care; and that they're a unique species that has it's own social structure. Plus, you don't just tell us about things like diet and environment, but how to make the gerbils life more entertaining for them. It's been really nice to watch your site.

I love watching them eat, play and do other things. Very cute little animals.

Thank you so much!!! I don't see many gerbil videos and this one is VERY informational. I definitely want to get my baby Lila a better diet and thanks to Victoria Rachel, I'm going to start making some homemade treats for her. 🤗

I liked the supply drop at the end with more nesting material and treats inside! Smart idea to make them open the package :P

Hey! I loved this video. Your channel is so informative and the content you post is great. Keep up the good work! :)

This was really informational, and very well put together! Thank you for working so hard on these videos! ❤️😘🐀

I love your video, I used to have a gerbil when I was 6 and it was alone in a tiny cages with almost no bedding and no wheel and no chew toys. I didn’t now gerbil proper care until this year she passed away when I was eight, thank u for your video I’m now Debating over getting a gerbils or hamsters because my hamster passed away a few months ago.

Amazing. They are so adorable!

I love your videos and your gerbils are so cute! Mine love hay and taking it for nesting so I think that they'd love the dried corn leaves so I will definitely be trying them with them! Thank you for the tips💓💓

Gerbils are good little workers. They're some of the best little housekeepers! They're fun to watch.

That’s a freaking cute gerbil!!!!!

Thank you for such a fun, educational, and interesting video! I hope to get gerbils some day, and am really enjoying educating myself on their care.

I might get a gerbil and these boredom breakers give me a great idea of what to give them. Wish I could subscribe!!

Hello, I recently adopted two male gerbils, there names are oeanut butter and jelly. Your videos have really helped me a lot! 👍

thank you, this is super helpful!!

I loved the toilet paper role parcel one it is also good for Christmas 🎄

I am about to run to the pet store soon and I want some more enrichment, this video was very helpful! Also, are you using Timothy hay? I was wondering which one to get

I came for the fins. And now I'm invested in gerbil lore.

5:54 It winked lol!

Loved it. I just subscribed 😁😁

I have gerbils!! Three of them to be exact, cookie, sandy, and fawn. Fawn is the smallest, and most innocent, she's a deer color. Cookie is white and dark black-ish brown, she nibbles alot and chews on my sleeves! Sandy is the biggest and oldest gerbil, she had a very unique sand color. she basicly adopted cookie and fawn :D

Wow ! You deserve wayyy more subscribers!! This is an amazing video 🤩! I have two hamsters at the minute !! and hopfully I’m getting two gerbils soon ! I’m going to house them in a diy cage measuring 130 by 65 cm 😊

i love your videos 🥺❤️

Can u please do a whole video on cleaning gerbil cages?

great information..what kind of hay and sand do you buy ?

Thank you for the great ideas for boredom breakers. Our gerbils have decided to nap in their sand bowl since we spot cleaned their tank on Dec 6. They brought a hay and bedding from tank to cage topper to nest. Now I don't know if I should remove the nest and change their sand.

I recomend handmade forging toys they make the gerbils tiny brains go to work as well as being cheep for you

Can you make a video of where you get all these things? like how do you obtain all your supplies for tour gerbils? love the videos :)

Love your cage setup! How do you spot clean it though without destroying the tunnels? And did you get your gerbils from a breeder? Keep it up!

tks

I like to put a bit of peanut butter in an egg cart and put another layer on and they seem to go crazy for it

Interesting video, and pollen is a new one to me! :) But you are wrong about one thing, Gerbils have an excellent sense of smell (normally at least), and I'm pretty sure I've seen that in a research paper too (I'd have to dig around to find it), I don't know how well it compares to Hamsters mind you.

Hi couple of questions. Which nuts are safe for Gerbils as I know cashews are not safe for Degus is it the same for Gerbils? Also are all the usual kitchen herbs safe to feed fresh and dried suck as basil thyme coriander chives ect?

My boys have always loves chewing loofah x

Do you have any idea on where to get/find any of the dried flowers and stuff? I would love to get some for my gerbils!

They seem smarter than Hamsters

My current gerbil shreds up a toilet roll in like 2 minutes 😂😂❤️

So a little update the one jumper managed to chew a spot in the divider and get over to the other side but I came in right when it happened scared me so badly tho but nothing really happened they just kinda looked at eachother but I quickly got one of them out

Thank you for this video 🥰 it’s really helpful. One question though, can I take any dried leaves and twigs from my backyard and put them in the cage or should I be made aware of something?

Hi, i hope you will see this and reply I had two gerbils, one of the died and my gerbil is alone now he is a male. Should i keep him alone or to bring a friend to him, how to introduce them to each other without them fighting each other?

Stupid question, sorry, but the dried corn cobs.. can I just buy unboiled corn cobs at the food store wanted let it drie before giving it to them or do I buy them dried?

Wow!!

Does anyone know where to get dried corn cobs?

Uh- sorry for asking so many questions im sure its annoyibg but i got two female gerbils about 2 weeks ago and all of a sudden one became very wobbly and her eyes were pinned shut. She everntually got better but then it happened again and she unfortunately passed. Fast forward a couple days my current gerbil is having the same sypmotoms. Its been two days and i moved her from a 60 gal to a 20 gal with half of her old bedding and half new. A new water dish,and a new hide. I only put like 3 inches of bedding (she hasent burrowed since her sister got sick) the only good vet I found was one for regular animals and exotic pets. But theres only 3 exotic vets so theyre only open on mondays and sundays. So i have to wait all week... For food... should i give her soft foods like small amounts of banana and cooked carrots? Or just her regular seed mix? I dont know why they got sick. It may have been because the breeder breeded with a sick gerbil. But they are the only place that sells gerbils! Sorry for bothering i just dont know what to do anymore.

where do you get your dried flowers/moss that doesn’t have extra chemicals?

Should i put the play toys and chews+ boredom breakers in the nest where they burrow or in the part with the wheel, food, water, etc?

Where could you find the moss ❤

I might be getting 2 gerbils so tysm for idvice

What cage do u have I RLLY NEED TO KNOW

What kind of moss & hay 🤔

My gerbil gets so exited he jumps so high cause he knows I am going to try there helpful tips.

Hello I just bought a gerbil it's my first time and i got only one will that be an issue because the shop keeper said it won't be a problem

Hey one of my gerbils got really sick and we kind of had to force feed him applesauce. Thankfully he has made a nearly complete recovery but I spilled lots of applesauce all over him. After three days it is dry, still really uncomfortable, and not gone at all. Does anyone have any advice on how to clean him sand baths don’t work and I know you aren’t supposed to get them that wet so I don’t know what to do)?

i looooove your videos and im getting gerbils soon so i think i will be able to give them the best life possible. also can gerbils have peanuts?

I just got 2 gerbils and there in tiny tales cage. I know I know way to small but they each have there own cage because of fighting. They used to be connected but now they each have there own cage. I’m making a large play pen for them that they will have 24 hour access to. Is that ok for having a tiny tales cage?

The carton is mine!

My gerbil is scratching her glass enclosure how can I stop them from doing that?

I don't know what you mean because I'm not good at English, but the video is so lovely.💗💗( I don't know if this is the right expression.😭😭)

Can you do a video about taking your gerbils? One of my gerbils is very shy and we are struggling to get her out.

hay can i use sani-chips with gerbils I can't find info ?

Hey so my new gerbil is a big jumper and she jumps to the top of her cage and I’m getting worried because I don’t know how to stop it and I don’t want her to get hurt

Do you have a recommendation on how to get gerbils used to you?

Hi, can gerbils eat flowers? Or do they need to be dried? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hii! I JUST GOT female gerbils! And I was wondering how to make them happy?

My gerbils just DESTROY the paper towel things and toilet paper things. I love them but my gerbils never use the tubes to hold their tunnels or even go through the tubes

Is any dried corn husk safe for gerbils?

My gerbils don’t like the wheel. Does anyone have similar experiences?

Where did you get your tank from

I can’t have my gerbil with another gerbil we tried and she killed them

Iam Marks daughter and I have 2 gerbils

Hello, I would like to inform everyone that using cardboard from delivery packages/drink holders ect are very bad for your gerbils or any other animal because due to covid, companies are spraying these with chemicals that could make your gerbil/any other animal sick. I’m not the best at typing lol sorry
