Fluffy Bunnies posted:This is completely ignorant, but do gerbs need to worry about some 90 degree temps? They're little desert dudes, aren't they? They're primarily nocturnal, so they tend to sleep in burrows during the day where it doesn't get all that hot. They're much more temperature-tolerant than some other rodents, but they might still like someplace to cool off.

Yep, rats are super social, almost every rat is going to be happier with other rats. I just introduced a young solo boy who had been alone for quite a while, and he was ecstatic to meet my other rats. Of course, one of my old guys doesn't feel the same way and has been kind of a grump, but the other is very happy to have a little cuddle buddy.

Captain Invictus posted:Rule #1 of owning pets: never trust the Petco guy A million times, this. I can't think of a specialty retail shop where the employees are more ignorant/misinformed about their products. If the guy at the auto parts store gave you the kind of terrible advice pet store employees give out on a regular basis, people would be dying in car accidents left and right.

Running to the wall is an instinctive thing, rodents don't like to be out in the open so they run to the nearest thing that remotely resembles cover.
