Default Re: Molly's scratching any ideas

Hi ive just been to vets it's probably a parasite that lives on gerbils skin the whole of their lives that has multiplied for some reason. I have been given a tube of xeno mini which I have to give 5 drops today and again in a fortnight and then another fortnight after that. Hopefully I'll see an improvement in the next few days if not it may be due to diabetes, cushings or cancer. He's hoping g this isn't the case as she's quite healthy.
Molly weighs 86-90 grammes does anyone know how much a female gerbil should weigh.
Racing hamster- thankyou so much for the info about mashing foods. At the moment she's ok taking foods (she can take pumpkin seeds out of a shell) but it is certainly worth knowing incase she does start finding it difficult. I will look and see if u can fet a science selective for gerbils I'm always looking for a better gerbil food. A lot seem to be generic for hamsters mice and gerbils so finding one for gerbils is always a bonus.
