Okay. I have to take the gerbils to the vet.

Now I'm thinking it must be something other than degloving. The first one shouldn't have died of a simple degloving and I can't see both other gerbils doing it too. I hope you are right. I've seen plenty of gerbils in the same house as cats without that much stress. We've always had ours in fish tanks with screen tops. Its nice not to have bedding kicked out all over the place.

See, one of the odd things is they don't even seem to be scared of the cats! They will both come out and sniff at them and jump at the cages at the cats, etc. They act more afraid of us and all I ever do is put them on the bed with us with their door open and give them a finger pet every once in a while (as it is rare when they will let me do it). I feel so bad. I love my little gerbils and try so hard to keep the cats away from them. I don't know what to do.
