Is a gerbil stretching out their back legs normal? She has been for about 2 weeks now and the first signs were her limping.

Thanks for reaching out about Pop. Has she been stretching out her legs constantly? Can she move them? It sounds like she might be having back problems. A veterinary visit is recommended to help on the diagnosis. Provide comfort for now, as in soft bedding, food and water within reach. Good luck.
