[@anabia7096]

hey! by now you've probably read lots of comments saying how the cage is too small, and I see that you've upgraded but its almost the same size as the old one? its really really small and I mean it, look into getting a bin cage, a nice large bin, or even better, get an ikea detolf, that would be PERFECT, and always remember ,minimum 11 inch wheel, 6 inches of bedding, hides (more than 1) and toys for them to chew, for the lid you can do a diy, lots of tutorials on KZbin, or you can use the two glasses that come with the detolf, put one in each corner and in the middle a pantry mesh shelf, you can get one in Home Depot for 20 bucks and its perfect for it, if you're not willing to do that look into donating the animal to someone that knows how to take care of it, GERBILS AND HAMSTERS OR ANY OTHER SMALL PET IS NOT A CHILDS GIFT!!!

[@darkye_]

They can be a child’s gift if they are responsible enough. My younger cousin got a pet hamster and she is taking care of it like a boss! It comes down to the child and this child looks responsible so I think you should improve your point of view on the ending. I agree with everything else but your ending needs to be changed as it is not true.

Your gerbils adorable however Gerbils can easily chew through thick PVC pipe plastic. So chewing through that cheap plastic will be really easy. They also need a buddy cuz gerbils are social. So please look into getting an enclosure that’s glass. Like a 40 gallon breeder tank. Besides the material of the cage, it’s also way too small. Please do your research.

[@thesfam6915]

That’s so sad :( we just always wash our hands as soon as we are done playing!

[@darkye_]

It’s called rat bite fever. A really good reason why you shouldn’t get rodents from pet stores like Petsmart, Petco, pets at home and Petland. Instead you should get rodents from ethical breeders, shelters and rescues. If you can’t do that then I really don’t think a rodent is right for you because rodents from chain pet stores = unhealthy rodents most of the time unfortunately and I don’t think anybody should support that. If you wanna know why their rodents are usually unhealthy is because they use rodent mills. Im not going to explain a rodent mill because they make me tear up. I hope you can get a mice from a ethical breeder (Best option) so it is less prone to diseases.

[@Determination5977]

@@thesfam6915 you get RBF through bites or scratches from rodents carrying the bacteria. The bacteria can enter the body directly through a bite wound, open skin, or mucous membranes such as in the eyes, nose, or mouth. When handling rodents carrying the bacteria or through contact with their saliva, urine, or droppings. as long as you're careful you'll be okay
