The best thing is Kitten Milk Replacer. You can get it at the pet
store. I think cow's milk is not nearly rich enough. I have also
used human baby formula made double strong (in an emergency, you use what you
have), but I only did that for one day until I could get to the pet store.
Let me say that Laura stated my position almost exactly. I was trying to
figure out how to say it. I am somewhat disturbed by all the talk of
voting, especially when it got complicated by the suggestion that people
would remove cookies just to vote multiple times. Get real! we are talking
My gerbils love food boxes. I give them food boxes that are not plastic
coated, like breakfast cereal boxes and the like. I don't give them boxes
from frozen foods, because they are plastic coated.
I can't answer your allergy question, but as far as building a house, I
think pine would be ok.
as an ocasional treat it is fine. My gerbils love it. It is a little
highin fat for regular feeding. Kathleen

They can hide everywhere and get through a crack less than an inch, I

Hi guys,
I took a bunch of pictures for you all today, so you can see what's going
Nice and Kind refused to use their wheel so I finally took it out of the
cage. Sugar uses the wheel by the hour, but Spice never does. Just depends

My house gets down to about 58 at night, sometimes even 55. Hasn't
hurt my gerbils at all. they usually make their nest deep in the litter in
the winter. In the summer it gets up to 100 sometimes. They nest on
the surface of the litter then!

I have had lots of hamsters, and they are much happier alone. Just get one.
And I have found them to be lessloving than gerbils, and way more nocturnal,
and therefore less fun to watch. Maybe your son will reconsider and get
another gerbil. Kathleen
