I'm not a gerbil expert in any sense of the word - as proven by the
mistakes I've made since I got my gerbils and the death of several.
But....the vet to whom I took two of my baby gerbils with respiratory
infections said that corn cob bedding is not good for the gerbils. Not
only does it have dust that can get into their nostrils, but it promotes
fungal growth within it. This may have contributed to the respiratory
virus my babies developed - and that I'm still fighting. She said
bedding from paper products is the safest way to go.
