Answer
Hi Annmarie,

This is usually an avoidable problem.  Make sure your gerbil's wheel is solid, with no rungs; gerbils' tails can get caught in the rungs.  Also, never pick up your gerbil by its tail.

Is your gerbil's tail still bleeding?  If so, he should go to the vet.  Otherwise, there's not much else you can do.  The tail will not grow back, but it won't bother the gerbil, and he won't be in pain.  If the wound becomes infected, however, he should go to the vet.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
