Gerbils are very active, curious animals and provide entertaining and lively company for slightly older children.
They are adapted to live in the desert and therefore produce a minimum of urine and faeces.
The inquisitive nature of the gerbil makes it a popular pet. These desert animals are natural burrowers and are happiest tunnelling underground.
Gerbils will nibble constantly on all kinds of surfaces, and will shred items to make nesting material. These are daytime animals who enjoy human companionship and in return will provide hours of entertainment and enjoyment.
You Gerbils' should be fed a mix which contain such things as wheat, oats, barley, sunflower seeds, corn, pumpkin seeds and dried grass pellets. This will give your gerbil a balanced diet with all the minerals and vitamins it requires to stay healthy.
Gerbils live on average for 2-4 years.
