.. Whatever those little blocks are called that have "trace elements" and such.. Do you think having one available for your gerbils are a good idea? I've read they don't really use it much, but it was a good idea to have one.. It couldn't *hurt* them to have one in the aquarium, right? I did throw away the littla vial of water vitamins. Luckily, my sister only used them for 3 days before I called her. Also, I cleaned out the gerbil tank today.. not 10 minutes and the clean, filled food dish (actually a cat bowl, about an inch deep) was filled and buried in aspen and the remains of what used to be a happy toliet paper roll (they took care of THAT in 5 minutes..) Is there anything I can do to get them to stop? Buy a board of gerbil friendly wood and place the bowl on that? Any ideas? I'm worried they won't be able to get to food.. not to mention, picking out the shavings of the bowl every time it gets buried is tedious. :p Cheers, Christina __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
