Halloween Ghosts For Your Gerbils

If you’re looking for a fun Halloween treat for your gerbils, here’s an idea.

Make a Halloween ghost that holds gerbil treats!

Here are two ways that you can make a fun Halloween ghost treat for your gerbils:

First Method
1. Get a plain white, unused coffee filter.

2. Place a small pile of treats in the middle of the coffee filter.

3. Carefully twist the open end of the coffee filter like you would twist the end of a Tootsie Roll wrapper. This will trap the treats inside the bottom of the coffee filter.

4. After you’ve twisted the coffee filter closed tightly so that the treats don’t spill out, turn the filter upside down, and it should look like a tiny little ghost!

Second Method
1. Get two plain white paper towels.

2. Make sure that they are still connected to each other. (Don’t tear the two paper towels apart.)

3. Place a small amount of gerbil treats toward the end of the two paper towels.

4. Roll the paper towel around the treats. (Make sure you roll the paper towel the long way.)

5. Very carefully tie a loose knot around the part of the paper towel that holds the gerbil treats. (You will need to be very careful while you do this, or the paper towel will tear, and your gerbil treats will spill out.)

6. The part of the paper towel with the knot is the ghost's head.

7. The loose end of the paper towel is the bottom of the ghost.

8. If the bottom of the ghost is too long, you can tear a little bit of the bottom of the ghost off to make it shorter.

9. Your ghost is ready to give to your gerbils!

Below, you can see video clips that show how much fun gerbils have with their ghost treats. The first video is of a ghost made using Method 1. The second video is of a ghost made using Method 2.
