1)Give them some tissues, toilet paper and paper towels to rip up. They will
rip them up themselves. Do NOT put a heat lamp on their cage.
2)Nope, that's rats.
3) Buy? Nope, don't buy. Give them tissues, toilet paper, paper towels,
tissue boxes, paper towel rolls, toilet paper rolls, that kind of stuff.
4)You can't make your gerbils run in wheels. Some just don't like wheels.
BTW, don't use cedar or pine bedding. Use Aspen, Carefresh or Yesterdays
News. Or another paper based or hardwood bedding(your never going to find
another hard wood bedding).www.gerbils.org is a great gerbil site. It's the
only one I ever rememeber the addy for. LOL
