You keep geri in a metal cage? Erm... since day one? Did you know that metal cages are never ever suitable for gerbils?

You should be using either a plastic tank or a glass aquarium. She is hurting herself by going bald, I bet it is her nose area rite? Change to a tank or aquarium.

No cage. Never use a cage. Get a glass aquarium. I already mentioned it.

Gerbils and other small animals like to chew the bars because of the metallic taste... if it rust, it can poison them in the long run. Change to an aquarium, then you should have no problems.
