I don't think so. Our gerbils have their bowl for the dust-bath always in their cage and their coat is only less shiny for a short while after they have been rolling in the sand. Wild living gerbils also can take dust-baths whenever they want and it keeps their coat in a perfect condition. -maria- -- -------------------------------------------------------------- \__/ (@@) Maria Lacina [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ ICQ# 46303385 | IC | Wirtschaftsuniversitaet Wien \ / Zentrum fuer Informatikdienste o--o Information Center --------------------------------------------------------------- "Alles sollte so einfach wie m�glich gemacht werden.
