Question
my gerbils nose its bleeding I don't know how she got hurt but now i think its hurting her and she keeps scratching what should I do??

Answer
Hello Karla,
if your gerbils nose is bleeding the most common cause is allergies. Also gerbils mucous can look like blood too. If your gerbil is sneezing than I would take her to a vet as soon as possible. Since you say she is scratching hernose a lot I would really consider taking her to a vet.
