Need to split cage a new gerb?

Hey there!

Yes, a funny little guy! He knew he just needed to get to the other side, and I couldn't keep him out of it
Thank you for all the advice, they're still doing great together. I heard that in a lot of situations, fights in those circumstances can be deadly. is that true? I've wondered if it didn't go to far because my older male gave up. It seems he lost the fight, allowing Frank to completely take over the situation, and now my order male is just a happy tenant. If this is true, do you think the fact that they'd already sorted out the 'pecking order' was the reason they didn't fight the second time, and got along so well?
Anyways, sorry for all the questions. This was a theory of mine so I thought I would mention it

Thanks again!

I've heard of very few cases of fatal fights between gerbils, mostly because people almost always spot the fighting before it gets to that point. They don't really like to fight to the death unless they absolutely have to.

It could be that they had already sorted out the pecking order with the first fight. Keep an eye on them for a few weeks because sometimes a gerbil who loses in a dominance dispute will begin to be excluded and pushed out, ultimately leading to a declan, but hopefully that won't happen here.

Ah, then I suppose it must have been misinformation. Thank you for letting me know, I'll definitely keep an eye out for that
