A broken leg usually heals in just over a week in gerbils and usually
there are nor complications. As for the weak gerbil, feed it banana and
baby rice. These are easy to eat and nutritious.
It may be a good idea to see a vet if the gerbil does not soon start
gaining weight as there may be complications that need treating.
