My Gerbil Anonymous
Hey i have a slight problem with one of my gerbils,i had my gerbils for a while now and there awsum! one of them hasnt been eatting much food as it normaly does and also it seems to be not intrested in nibbling stuff? i then relised that the gerbils tooth has cracked down the middle leaving a small thin tooth?
the gerbil seems to rub it now and again.. its not sqweeking when he does it so it must not be painful to it?

is this a problem i should take to the vets or should i ignore this? can i help it in any way?
any suggestions guys?

Can you take a picture?

Rodents front teeth usually grow continuosly, so it should regrow eventually. Make sure its weight stays up. You can give it some white, unsugared Yoghurt at the side.

This is a youtube how-to on gerbil care(not the kiddy things like cage cleanliness etc.)...

I don't know if it'll help you too much, but I learned alot when I watched it.

Most rodents need a fiber like food so that they can grind their teeth down.
If not, they'll get problems.
A vet can make sure.

Hey guys thanks for all the posts, this morning i checked "lemmiwinks" the poor guy has been sleeping all day,think its all the pain hes been through :( i have checked this afternoon and his top tooth is gone? ><

now this leaves his bottem tooth and he cant nibble anything?!? i have given some banannas while hes struggling away 2 eat it...
i have contacted the local vet and he will hopefully sort him out... (new pair of teeth maybe?) but i will let you guys know 2morros how the little guy is getting on. thanks ^^
