Re: Biting Gerbil

[Mary McDermott]

Danna, I have been bitten 2 times by 3 different gerbils before. I was
separating fighting, adult, FEMALE gerbils!  When I stuck my hand in their
tank BOTH gerbils grabbed onto my thumb and didn't let go.  The 3rd time was
when I was doing the split cage thingy and one of the gerbils was going nuts!
 She did not like the other gerbil.  Before I put on the lid she jumped out
and got on another 10gal tank lid and when I picked her up (with her still
VERY upset with another gerbils in HER tank) she bit me.
These were not nips because I was bleeding and I still have the scar.
