Eszters right Emmy, gerbils and water are not a good mix. You could put a sandbath in for them when they have tub time, they would love that and it's great fun to watch them roll about in it

I wasnt on about like a massive puddle, about the size of a bottle cap, (1nch diameter) I dont want to stress them out although my gerbils when I give them their water bottle in my hand the push the ball up to let it dribble a bit then lick it off my hand wierd

still, gerbils dislike water and i would not put them through the stress just because someone tried it out. she was either making the story up or has not got a clue about gerbils and what she may have seen was freaking out gerbils NOT happy ones, in my opinion. so take the advice from people who have had gerbils for years

Not to be picking on anyone, just feeling like going into one of my philosophical rambles, lol. I just think it's good to keep in mind that gerbils are all very different in their temperaments and personalities, likes and dislikes.
We don't know with certainty that ALL gerbils hate water. If someone happens to own a gerbil that likes playing in a bit of water (given a choice), and they're able to get the gerbil warm and dry away from drafts, well, why not, lol! Who am I to say they can't? While water and gerbils are generally not a good mix and certainly are not necessary, I'm open to the possibility that some oddball gerbils somewhere like it.
Gerbils can't catch colds like humans do, though stress will weaken their immune systems. If you live in a cool, damp climate, getting your gerbil wet probably isn't a good idea.

A very good point Johanne, but i have had a gerbil who got pretty wet from water and was very much stressed and ended up sneezing. yes maybe it was not a cold and was from low immune caused from stress, but i only tell advice to people so they wont make the same mistake, as i think they are pretty shocked when get wet

I meant that in a more general sense, Eszter Whatever the topic that comes up, it's a good idea to keep at least a somewhat open mind to things outside of our own experiences. You know, just in case something we don't already know pops up one day
