Is it weird that ur gerbil eats bedding I'm using carefresh the soft bedding and my gerbil is eating it?
Don't worry! He's likely only tearing it up to make it more fluffy and comfy then carrying it to his bed/hole. Mine does this with everything, even sawdust! The only way you'll know if he's actually eating it is that it'll all be slowly vanishing until it's gone completely. However, i don't think this is the case; if it is though, all bedding is completely safe if made specifically for small animals. As such it won't be the best for him but it shouldn't do him any harm either :)
Are you sure s/he is really eating it? Gerbils will pick up their bedding in their mouth and then carry it back to make a nest/bed.
