Gerbils Sleep In All Types Of Places!

We just posted the results of the past week's Gerbil Poll. We were surprised to see how evenly the answers were distributed among in a fluffy nest, in a nesting box, and somewhere different every time.

This just goes to show that gerbils are individuals. Every one has his or her own unique personality. So while Maeby and Nellie are curled up in a fluffy nest they made, maybe your gerbils are sleeping inside a wooden house. Pippi likes sleeping in a large cardboard tube, but maybe your gerbils prefer to sleep under their exercise wheel. Maybe your gerbils roam around and choose a different place to sleep every night. I think it's very interesting to see what varied preferences our gerbils have in where they sleep!

The new poll is also online now. This week's question is, "Do your gerbils take sandbaths?" Please take a moment to vote in the poll and let us know if your gerbils like to roll in the sand and clean their fur!

If you have an idea for a poll question, please email me, and I'll try to use it in the coming weeks!
