Hi all, I didn't check for replies until a minute ago and this is when I've already reclanned Cairo and Zerwin.
I went on advice of another gerbil friend and she said since they were not attacking each other thru the bars, to introduce them in neutral territory. I brought them to a different room and let them meet on the bed, ready with heavy gloves. :P They ran past each other, sniffed each other, ran more, sniffed more. I put them in a small kritter keeper with clean bedding and had my sister hover over them with gloves while I cleaned out the tank with bleach and water. They groomed each other, two times each, then settled down to sleep. I kept them together in that for a while while I cleaned everything. I put fresh bedding into the tank along with scrubbed bowls. It's pretty empty now, except for a few new tubes and a new wooden house. I put them in and now they're asleep in the wooden house together. Thanks everyone, I'll be keeping a close eye on them for a while. This may have been the most frightening part of keeping gerbils.. yeesh. At least I learned something *very* important.. :P Christina __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Find the one for you at Yahoo! Personals http://personals.yahoo.com
