whenever I try to give a sunflower seed to my gerbil she dosent accept it but when I set it down in two minutes it's gone. and she's just a little scraed of me she will crawl all over my legs and arms but she ignores my hands.

why not try putting the sunflower seed down near your hand and just let her eat from the floor of her cage/tank so she isnt scared then gradually put the seed closer and closer to you hand and eventually put it just on your finger tip and after a while you should be able to make her trust you and eat the sunflower seeds of your hand. This might take time and if i were you i would try giving her alot of time in each stage as she has to learn to trust you and rushing her may make her even more frightened. I am not sure if this will work as im no expert but i used this method on my youngest gerbil and it only took about a week. Good luck! ;D pixytwinkle  |
