Two gerbils, split-cage method failed, will they fight?
I have had one gerbil for about a little over a year, and another not quite as long. But, a long time ago (can't remember when, sorry), I tried to introduce them using the split-cage method, and when I introduced them, they began to fight. One day, one gerbil somehow got to the other side of the cage, and they fought almost till death, but luckily i found them and separated them right away. A couple of months ago I put them into the same cage again, but with the divider. Do you think that if I tried to introduce them again, they would fight?
Advice/tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
May be it's best to leave them in separate cages, but side by side, so they can still smell, see & hear each other.
Had a similar situation with dwarf hamsters who were siblings & parents.
According to the books, were suppose to like living in groups.
The solution was to give each one their own 'apartment', to stop the bullying, fightings and most importantly, more babies!...it was Rotastak, so the units were stacked on top of each other like a tower.

Since dogs are related to wolves, they are natural den animals. If introduced correctly, a kennel can be a very beneficial place. Most dogs will consider them safe havens and places to rest away form all the hustle and bustle. It will become his own private place.
Wire and plastic kennels are both very suitable for dogs and cats. Wire kennels are more popular due to their versatility and convenience features. There are many models which a collapsible which makes them easy to transport and store. Wire kennels can also grow with your dog. They generally are equipped with removable divider panels that expand the living space. Wire kennels are also very easy to clean, especially the newer models with seamless polyethylene floor pans. Your pet will be offered better ventilation and increased visibility with in a wire kennel as well.
Plastic kennels can also make a good choice as well. In fact, if you plan to travel on an airplane with your pet, he must be in a plastic kennel as required by law. Some owners feel the plastic provides a better level of security and privacy as the wire can be harsher in appearance and offers less of an escape. If your household has a high level of activity or kids, it might be a better to invest in a plastic kennel, so your dog can have a refuge. However, a blanket placed over a metal cage can render as similar result.
Kennel size is very important. If you are planning to use the kennel to house train the puppy, it must be the right size. If it is too spacious, it will not work properly as the dog will choose a corner which they do not have to be in to his business. You can purchase a puppy kennel that will be only used for training or choose a kennel with divide panels which will grow with the dog. In the appropriate sized kennel the dog will be able to lie down, turn around, and have three to four inches of space above his head when sitting or standing. The right size kennel might seem to confining to you at first, but it really is not.
If you are uncomfortable with the idea of kenneling your dog, talk to a professional such a veterinarian who can offer you advice. A kennel is a loving habitat when used properly. For more information on choosing a kennel, visit http://www.houstonveterinarianclinics.com today.
