Well yesturday at 4pm I came home from college to find one of my Gerbils "Chad" was in the tank sat on the second floor of the tank by himself away from the other two brothers in the bed. I thought it was bit strange but I left him for a while.
It got to 6pm and he was sleeping there, how odd, so I picked him out 2 see what was wrong and fed him his favourite treat PUMPKIN SEEDS hehe. I noticed some of his furr was tuffed up at one side so i looked and was shocked to see lots of red marks on his neck, I was very shocked because he was very shaken up and obviously had a fight with one of the others, I put him in big plastic box and put the lid over the top witha few gaps for air holes and gave him bedding, cardboard, a glass of water, a big jar to sleep in.
I then investigated Flea to see if I could see any clues. He is the half brother so I thought he might have been picked on. He had no marks so obviously he's the nice and hates violence like me hehe.
I checked Lemmy and he had two marks on him so obviously he had been involved in the tiff. He is Chads true brother and i was very down. I think chad probably got anoid with Lemmy being the leader or Lemmy was being a bullie. So i left him in the normal tank with flea over night.
I came down about 11pm to get some milk and i went to see how chad was holding out, to see if he was still shaken up. And his box was full over water, he had tipped over the glass of water I had given him, he was in the jar floating on the water. I got him out and he was very wet and pritty anoid with me aswell. I dryed him off and cleared the tank of water and put cucumber in there as food and water and then put the lid on and went to bed.
The morning after I thought i'de put Flea with Chad so Chad wouldn't feel lonley for 24 hours and left for college, leaving the lid on upside down with a few gaps for airholes. When I got back i went to see if chad and flea were still alive and well Flea wasn't their. I was like what the hell? I then saw him two my right hiding cheakily by the sofer. He had obviously climbed onto the jars, jumped really high to get to the lip of the box, jumped down to the tank roof, off the tank roof onto the wooden box it was standing on and then onto the floor a very very big fall indeed, he was fine just had pooed everywhere. He is ok no injuries just a bit shaken. I think he didn't run away coz of the dog and hid behind the sofa hehe.
I put the three boys in the empty bath later to make sure they were all ok now, chad and lemmy ran to eachother and kissed eachother and made up. I put them in the spare box as I cleaned out their tank and chad and Lemmy were asleep together in the big jar so
they are ok for now. I cleaned out their tank and they are now all sleeping in the same bed now how random
Ooo here is a pic so you know what they look like
