Hello, I'm a new gerbil owner with a couple questions. Just got a pair of males last week. A nutmeg named Duncan and a dark-eyed honey named Conner. Anyway, I'm a big concerned about Conner. Compared to Duncan he is ALOT more skittish, lazy and other things. He seems to spend much more time in the house, be less interested in the going ons of the outside world, Duncan eats sitting in the food dish, Conner grabs something and then runs back into the house. He does get active sometimes, he'll come out and try to play fight and groom and sometimes try to run on the wheel but when he does that Duncan normally takes over because he loves the wheel. He does really get into using the gerbil ball when we've put him in there and zooms around on the kitchen floor. The poops that he left behind in the ball were looser than Duncans but not too bad, they did stink a fair bit more though. Not having much experience I don't know whether or not to chalk these things up to just personality differences or whether or not I should be concerned about Conner's health. I'm afraid that I was reading up on ailments and now may be a bit of a hypochondriac for Conner's sake. So, can you guys tell me if I'm just worrying myself for nothing of if I have reason to be concerned? Thanks, Travis __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
