Justice for Gerbils

🎶 Cheeky cheekies, cheeky cheeky cheekies 🎶

4/7 of the babies have a respiratory issue at varying degrees.
After the nebuliser I put them in a large human foot hot water bottle slipper to keep warm for a few mins....it's the highlight of my day 🥰 (and then I chill with a cuppa and my feet inside it before collapsing for the day with sheer exhaustion 😂)

UPDATE:
ALL 8 GIRLS ARE NOW HAPPIER AS ALL OF THESE BONDINGS WORKED 🥰

Trying 4 female gerbil bondings this afternoon...a quadruple whammy! Yes I've had my Weetabix 😁

All still not confirmed as successful as ANYTHING can happen at any given time, but there's lots of positivity in the air today so fingers tightly 🤞

Staggered timings and with much guidance, reassureance and distraction from me in multiple forms, especially as a couple of the girls are in heat.

Each bonding is so very different...it'd be impossible to have one rule for all.
I'll add more toys and wheels as and when I see fit, using my gut....and that dear people is my best advice when bonding your own gerbils 🤩

TOTALLY AND UTTERLY SPOT ON AND SUPERBLY DEMONSTRATED AS EVER HEATHER ❣️❣️❣️

I had goosebumps watching this ☺️

Many people may believe that it’s okay to keep gerbils alone, citin...

Gerbil chasing, sudden fall out?

It often has nothing to do with our efforts to ensure they have the best possible life....loads of toys and enrichment in a large enclosure.
We couldn't possibly know 100% but sometimes they just seem to fall out for no apparent reason 😵‍💫

Ryan & Reece did this in the middle of the night, luckily in my bedroom! Ryan was rapidly chasing Reece and they had a few mouth cuts.

I explain further on the video the process I tried this time with these gerbils.
Every ' case ' varies but my emergency go to is put one in a carrier within the enclosure for at least 2 hours and swap. Often they calm, sometimes they don't!

🩶🖤 IVOR & OSCAR 🖤🩶

Rescued from a tiny cage, lived with me for a year and a half until they were adopted by a lovely couple who were more than happy to take an older pair back in February.

Lovely lads they became after about 8 mths. It took that long for them to truly shine and show what real sweeties they were. All gerbils are so very different!

I was OVER THE MOON 🌙 when they found their forever home and SUPER pleased to receive this photo of them looking all LUSH and HEALTHY yesterday celebrating their 3rd birthday 🎈

A bit more rejigging....
Enclosure improvements doesn't necessarily mean cost with new items!

Billy Boo, Mason, Jenson & Harrison are 4 happy boys 🥰
