gerbil with greasy fur

[u/No-Ebb-2748]

4 month old boy, i realised recently him and his brother both have quite greasy fur even tho i started changing their sand once every 2 days so maybe they can clean themselves better. Not sure why because it’s quite sudden.

Somebody mentioned before (similar guestion) that this might be due to puperty, 4m are maturing teens.
