Need Advice

[Jorge D]

Can I feed my gerbil sunflower seeds whole? (The shell and kernel) Also, my gerbil hasn't been very active lately. He just lays in the corner of his cage just about all day. I found some maroon colored spots under his bedding when I cleaned his cage and his butt looks like it has been cut or ripped. What should I do? Could it have been the sunflower seeds or could it be the hard plastic running wheel he has been chewing on? Plz I need some advice as soon as possible.

It's probably the plastic he was chewing. If gerbils couldn't have sunflower seeds, many, many gerbils would die.

He needs to see a vet.
