My gerbil is having a fit! Whats wrong?
Sometimes gerbils, especially young gerbils, will be over stimulated by accidents or unusual things. The animal may have what looks like an epileptic fit or will suddenly become completely still, almost as if the animal has died. Keep the gerbil warm and it will normally come out of it in a minute or two. It looks scary, but it isn’t as serious as it looks.
