My males will not excercise. I have bought them a wheel, they won't use it. I have bought them a ball to run around in, they jsut sit there. How do I get these boys to excercise and work off some off their weight? What will they enjoy?

You could build a playpen, which many people on this forum use. You could use long, tall strips of cardboard to create a little fence, or you could go to the hardware store for something a little more permanent. Then, put lots of cardboard boxes and tubes in, and let them chew, hide, and play!

Also remember males are 'bigger', and though they may look overweight it can just be their size.
I would say 50% of gerbils don't like the ball, and some take a bit of time learning the wheel, even months. While others could care less for the wheel.... Mind you all mine like the wheel, even if it took a bit of time to get it.
Play pens are great ways of exercise, and entertainment also!
