General Info
Gerbils are a small rodent with a lifespan of 2-3 years. Their housing and feeding requirements are the same as hamsters, and they should also be provided with a wheel and other toys. Gerbils have the unique ability to hop using their powerful hind legs and have a gait unlike hamsters, mice, or rats. Their relatively short tail is covered with hair, giving them a unique look as well.Gerbils are very active and do better in same-sex pairs. Though able to be tamed, gerbils are easily stressed and will bite if irritated. If handled properly, they can make fun pets and watching them play in their cages is as rewarding as playing with them.
