Both of my females are degloving their tails, now, too! Could this be stress induced? I am going to make appts for them tomorrow and see about tail amputation as that seems to be the only option as my internet searches have remained, for the most part, fruitless in all aspects. They have fresh food and water and I have given them a cucumber chunk, once. If this doesn't work out then I will just donate the little habitat to a shelter and hopefully find something else to work for me.
Oh, hubby thinks the cats are causing the gerbils to do this even though we have the cage IN THE BED until I fall asleep and when I wake up it's right back up there. Granted, the cats will sit around it but I do NOT let them do this when I notice it. Troy thinks we should put their little habitat in a large fish tank type deal. I don't know, what do you all think? I love my little gerbilly girls and don't want to take them back.
