will this work???

[gerbil MAD]

hi im new here please help.
I bought a new gerbil to replace the 1 that died i have to introdue it to the 1 i have already got.
but i have not got a cage/tank to split so i have left the 1 i already have it its cage and pu the new 1 in a small tank 4 the time being.
they say the gerbils have to get used to each others scent, can i swap them from cage 2 cage as i have not got a split 1. will they still get used to eachother that way?

thanks.

That is a good question. Yes they will get the other gerbils scent. I think it is also important to put the gerbils next to each other so that they can see each other. If not, they will not associate the smell with the gerbil. Gerbils also go on sight.
