I heard that shaving a gerbil makes it happy and friendly. Is that true?

first of all, good luck trying to shave a gerbil, second if you actually succeeded, he is only friendly because he is FREEZING his little a$$ off and holding him keeps him from dying of hypothermia.If I were you I would not test this theory, it might be misconstrued as cruelty.

Uhm
Who told you to shave a gerbil?
I would think it would make the gerbil nervous and not trust you. Weird thing, shaving a gerbil... I'd like to know how this conversation came about!

i imagine you need to change bedding even inspite of the actuality that your hamster has been on it awhile and remains in sturdy well-being you are able to by no skill be to careful. i'd advise care sparkling or a more cost-effective option aspen timber shavings. i imagine female gerbils are friendlier and have a tendency to do more suitable useful in communities. i does not advise a bin cage as gerbils actually chew each project and a a plastic bin cage is soothing that they could like so i project the superb housing for gerbils is a tank crammed with 5-7 inches of bedding and a tank topper. wish i helped.

I will tell you what I said when I read your question, STUPID!!!!!!! That's ridiculous, how can you believe that?! Would you be happy if you were forced to be completely shaved? OK, that's it. Thanks for the points!

I doubt it. A eclectic shaver noise would scare the poor thing

Are you really so immature to believe this is funny?
Go post it in the jokes section if you do.
