I just got 2 baby gerbils. I've done a bunch of research but every website says something different and I don't know who to trust. :confused:
I need some tips on taming them, and I need to know some of the big rules when it comes to caring for gerbils. :) I've had a hamster before and I love rodents. I would even a mongoose as a pet :D
I also read that you should never keep pets in an aquarium except for lizards and fish.. :confused: but then I read that plastic habitats are too small for adult gerbils. My gerbies are currently in a crittertrail treehouse. :D
So any tips for my new gerbie werbies would be great!
Also, how can I tell the difference between them? I don't want to have to wait a year to name them.. but they look exactly the same. They're both black with white on their mouths, chests, and paws. There's no big difference in personality either..
