Answer: Before you can tame a gerbil, it's important to learn about their temperament. While they are loving animals, they can also be shy and aggressive if they are scared. Understanding your gerbil can help you successfully tame it. Gerbils are naturally shy but are social, inquisitive, and can bond well with their human family. They don't like to be left alone or isolated. Gerbils are very curious and active. If you have more than one gerbil, they will likely play with each other all day. Gerbils are very territorial and you'll want to be careful introducing a new gerbil to your home or an already existing gerbil community. Gerbils rarely bite and only may exhibit this kind of aggression if they are scared. Unlike other rodents such as rats, mice, or hamsters, gerbils don't produce the same bad odors. Purchase a cage that will fit your gerbil or gerbils before you obtain the animals. Having their "home" prepared and inviting will help you tame them more effectively. Place their cage in an area of the house with medium traffic so that you don't startle your gerbil with too much activity. Gerbils are curious and like to watch and be part of the action. They also need to get used to the fact that humans make noise and motion. Fill the gerbil cage with bedding such as corn cob, hay, or shredded cardboard. You can use alfalfa grass as a filler with any of these bedding options. Gerbils eat a mix of rodent pellets, seeds, fruits and vegetables, and insects. Keep a variety of food for them in the cage. Make sure you also put a water bottle in the cage so that your gerbil doesn't get dehydrated. However, gerbils originated as a desert dwelling creature, so don't expect to see your gerbil drinking a lot. Purchase accessories for the cage that will allow your gerbils to chew, hide, and indulge their curiosity. Gerbils are clean animals and you'll need to keep your gerbil's cage clean to keep him happy and healthy. Buy a pair of young gerbils. If you buy one gerbil it will be more work, in particular since there is less entertainment, so consider getting two. The younger the gerbil is, the more success you are likely to have taming your gerbils. Don't get a gerbil under 5 weeks of age to help ensure that they've had enough time with their mother and are healthy. Buy your gerbils from a reputable breeder if possible. This can also help ensure that your gerbil is healthy and doesn't have any deformities from inbreeding. Check to make sure your gerbil choices are healthy. The coat should be fully and glossy, the eyes bright and shiny, the nose clean, and the teeth straight. If you notice any problems, ask the breeder or decide on another gerbil that appears healthier. Moving a gerbil into a new space from another home is traumatic for the animal. Although your instinct may be to take them out and play, allow them some time to recuperate and settle into their new surroundings. This may help you tame them more effectively as well. Your gerbil may need a few hours to a few days in their new home for a few days before you start trying to handle them. Otherwise, they'll be too stressed to tame. Develop a plan that you can follow consistently since it requires time and patience to tame your gerbil. Making a plan will give you a chance to consider your gerbil's personality and different factors that may affect the process, such as if your gerbil is older or a baby. Keep the training fun for your gerbil and you. Even something as simple as running on your lap can be fun for a gerbil. When developing your training plan, make sure to keep your gerbil's personality in mind. Some gerbil's will naturally jump onto your arm while others may take time to get used to you. Since training is something you need to do regularly and over time, set short- and long-term goals. You can develop your plan by setting daily, weekly, and monthly intentions or goals for your gerbil. For example, you could have the goal one week of getting your gerbil to jump into your hands without smelling you first. Make a plan over the course of the week to expose your gerbil to your scent and your personality. Remember to keep the exposure short and consider giving your gerbil a treat to warm him up.. It's important that you can commit time over a longer period to taming your gerbil. Gerbil taming doesn't happen overnight and requires consistency.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Discuss it with your vet. Treat anxiety with Benadryl. Use Benadryl for allergies and bug bites. Give Benadryl to your dog for insomnia. Ensure your product only contains diphenhydramine.

Answer: While Benadryl is generally safe for dogs, every dog is different. It's best to talk to your vet before giving your dog Benadryl, to make sure it will be safe and to get a dose recommendation. Technically, Benadryl hasn't been approved by the FDA for cats and dogs, but most vets agree it's safe. Discussing dosage with your vet is important because dogs can overdose on Benadryl. One use for Benadryl is treating anxiety in dogs. For instance, some dogs have storm anxiety, and Benadryl can help calm them down. Often, it works best to give them Benadryl ahead of the storm. Similarly, it can also help out in the car. It can calm anxiety, and it will also assist with nausea from motion sickness. Another common use for Benadryl is to treat allergies. Dogs with allergies tend to scratch more, and if your dog has been diagnosed with allergies, Benadryl can help alleviate the symptoms. However, some experts question the effectiveness of Benadryl for general allergies. While it can be helpful for reactions like bee stings and hives, it may not help as much with the itchy skin that comes with canine allergies. One of Benadryl's side effects is drowsiness. In fact, it's used in many over-the-counter sleep aids. That's why it can help your dog with insomnia if you give it to the dog before bedtime. In the United States, most products with the Benadryl label only contain diphenhydramine. However, this ingredient has fallen out of use in other countries. For instance, in the UK, cetrizine is the active ingredient instead. While this ingredient is also dog-safe, it won't have all the same effects.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Warm vegetable or coconut oil in a microwave for 15 seconds. Massage the oil into your skin for 30 seconds. Wipe your skin dry with a cotton pad. Wash your skin with warm soapy water.

Answer:
Put 2 tablespoons (30ml) of vegetable or coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Put the bowl in your microwave and heat the oil on high for 15 seconds. Make sure the oil is warm but not scalding hot. Only use 1 tablespoon (15ml) if you only have a small stain. The pigment in turmeric is more soluble in oil than it is in water, meaning it will lift the stains off easier. Gently rub your skin in circles over the stained area. Work the oil into the skin to lift the pigment from the stain. After scrubbing for about 30 seconds, let the oil sit on your skin for 1 minute so it can draw out the stain even more. Use a disposable cotton pad to pat the oil off of your skin. Rotate the pad after each pat so it can absorb the most oil. Continue patting your skin dry until the oil is completely removed. You should notice the lifted pigment on the cotton. Lather a body or hand soap in warm water and apply it to the area that was stained. Work the soap in circles on your skin to scrub any residual stains. Rinse the soapy water off your skin and pat it dry with a towel. If you still have stains on your skin, repeat the process again.
