Wow! I see you did talk a little while I was offline:)). First, Thea, I do not have Tokyo’s weight but I’ll tell you tomorrow. Lily, your girls are soooo preety, and yours too, Thea😍 I love their colors sooo so much:)) Don’t worry, I won’t give her less food and if I think now, this means that Tokyo was poorly fed when she stayed in the pet store, the little animals who stay there for more than a month are not raised how they should be!!😔 I’m now trying to make a cake, it’s my second attempt😍 Maybe you have any tips that could help me or a good recipe of a cake? This will be a chocolate cake with raspberries and white cream😍 and I know this isn’t a gerbil subject but it’s lovely talking to you guys!🥰

Oh! So she’s just fine? I thought they needed to look fit or something like that😂 I’m glad she’s ok, I was really concerned if I need to give her less food or keep her on a diet. Oh yeah, and I still didn’t see her on the wheel, only the pups but I think that she is using it in the night, if the pups know how to use it Tokyo probably learnt them how to. Forgot to ask, have you still got that mesh wheel? I just stumbled across a comment here recently about those....

Yes Mark, I unfortunately still have it because I couldn’t find something made from wood for them, I’m still searching. As I observed, the pups are just fine with that wheel but I am considering taking another:))

Nothing on Amazon your way?
How about cork lining the wheel for now? That would stop any possible injuries which they have avoided so far. I don't know how well it would stay stuck to a mesh wheel in the long run, but it would at least be me a short-medium term fix. If you were to do that you'd also want to seal the cork with a non toxic varnish, so if they wee on it you can wipe it off. Plastikote is what I used. For cork lining I used model railway cork underlay from ebay.
I did it for my wheel to give them better grip for my solid metal wheel. This was just before I sealed it.

Yes that is a good idea. I have seen people who have lines their mesh wheels with various things (sometimes just cardboard works) so that they don't have to buy a new one. You could use cork as Mark says. That is, if the wheel is a good size to use in the first place?

Hi! Since we have talked here for a long time about everything, I decided to write here what’s going to happen with the gerbils. I found a family who will take tomorrow Hazel, she also took two Hazel’s pups yesterday (Do you think they will have a fight if she reunites them after two days they haven’t been seeing each other?). Tomorrow I’m also giving the last two pups, one of Hazel’s and one of Tokyo’s. I decided to stay with Tokyo and one of her pup, my brownie 😍😍✨ and maybe you can help me with a name for her. Markpd, it’s a long story here with the cage, the woman who comes tomorrow to get Hazel will also take the two pups with the cage for her friend who’s in France, she will take care of them until the restrictions are down in France or when she will be able to come in Romania. The point is that I am more relieved because I’m staying with one cage:)) The one who is bigger than the other, I think that is a 55 cm x 40 cm with 2 levels, I’ll put down a photo with it. I also want to redecorate it and maybe take that level down. One question, the water bottle kind of annoys me because I cannot put a lot of substrate , since the walls of the cage are from plastic. Is it ok if I give them water in a ceramic bowl? Or should I put about 3 cm / 1.1” in the part where the bottle is? Oh, and about the wheel, I searched today and I found something, it’s the only wood wheel I found here, in Romania. Here is the wheel, 18.5 cm/7.2” interior diameter. Wheel image—-https://ibb.co/7RtmVDV I want to know if it’s okay by taking this model, I’m waiting until you give me an answer so I can buy it.
The cage I’m staying with—-https://ibb.co/j85WK2L
Also, I wanted the cage to look natural and I was thinking about adding a plant but it might be toxic to them? Or some soil in a corner of the cage:))

Umm, I don’t think the links work, I’ll try again here. ibb.co/j85WK2L ibb.co/7RtmVDV The wheel is around 25 dollars /16 pounds including the shipping.
