I would recommend a commercial diet as well to ensure he is getting all the nutrients he needs. He also needs hard substances to chew on to help file his teeth down. Hamsters have constantly growing teeth and without proper diets and care, they can have malocclusions and teeth problems in the future. I hope this helps!

Thanks for reaching out about Peppermint and including photos. Continue to monitor for appetite and water consumption. Continue to talk in a soft voice and allow her to get comfortable with her new surroundings. If decreased appetite of soft stool, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck.

Hi, it depends on what you need to treat. There are not many do it yourself medicines, apart from offering the best suitable diet... as food is medicine ! Or for example if having any conjunctivitis cleaning eyes with sterilised water. If you have a specific question, please ask !

You can feed your gerbil 1/2-1 ml of food at a time. You can do this every 2-3 hours. Don't syringe the food in too quickly because the he may not be able to swallow it quickly. Just place little amounts on the tongue for him to swallow on his own. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Skittles. Possibly Skittles is attempting to escape and might need more exercise out of the cage. Maybe a hamster ball. Otherwise you need to provide a barrier to prevent chewing on the bars as hamsters can possibly fracture incisors. Good luck.
