We decided to move her into a really quiet bedroom against a wall and she was back out by 10 again and seemed much more confident. Maybe she could smell the dogs from the other area and I guess it was a bit noisier. Either way sometimes they just don't seem to like certain spots and it's not always clear why, so maybe moving him back up will help. Really wouldn't have thought gerbils being in the same room would've had a big impact though, guess some animals are just more affected by the presence of others. Hoping he gains confidence soon!
They are finickity little creatures really!! Hopefully he will be happier back upstairs
