While chinchillas love taking dust baths, it’s essential to keep an eye on their behavior during and after the bath. Suppose your chinchilla seems agitated or restless during the bath. In that case, it may be a sign that the sand is irritating its skin, as well as if it sneezes excessively or has watery eyes after the bath, it may be a sign that the dust is too fine and irritating its respiratory system. If you don’t have one of these at home, you’ll be able to find one on online or in pet stores. Some of these, along with different types of sand, will be recommended later on in the article.

Gerbils should be given somewhere to sleep, like a nest box. We don't advise plastic as they can shred and ingest this. They have strong teeth and will chew through it. But I have a vague plan to build a whole layout/module just for coal merchants. There is a very tempting and modellable photo in GWR Goods Services 2A, showing Slough's extension mileage yard. It includes two grounded vans and a grounded coach + lots of coal bins. Great stuff. If you are getting a chinchilla to keep your current one company, then you will need to carry out the introductions nice and slowly to reduce the chance of them fighting. When do chinchillas sleep? If you buy two or more baby gerbils of the same sex – from the same litter or harmonious group – they should get on well. But adult gerbils (ie over 10 weeks old) can be aggressive towards any newcomers to the group. Find out what to do if you're introducing gerbils and what to do if they fight. Are gerbils nocturnal?I hadn't considered their hoof marks, though. It may be too late for this layout, as they should perhaps be imprinted while the groundcover is still wet. Will give it some thought. Behaviour: All pets should be allowed to exhibit normal behaviour patterns and should be provided with the facilities to do so.

Rehoming centres like ours take in rescue gerbils for lots of reasons, like a change in the owners circumstances or if they're not getting the care they need. Before you buy a gerbil, make sure you do your research and consider adopting one instead. Environment: Pets should be given the correct housing according to its size, this includes shelter, space to exercise and a secure, comfortable place to rest.

Some people like to keep the sand bath in their hamster’s cage so it has the option every day, whereas others like to offer it less frequently. This blog chronicles the building of "The Farthing layouts", a series of smallish OO layouts that portray different sections of a GWR junction station in Edwardian days, with occasional time warps.
