In general, no, gerbils cannot be microchipped. Why? Mainly because of their size. Dogs, cats, rabbits or other larger pocket pets may be microchipped, but a gerbil is pretty small. In rare instances, a smaller pocket pet may be microchipped, but it is up to the vet on whether your particular pocket pet is too small or not. If you are interested in having your gerbil microchipped then you should give your vet a call and talk it over. If your gerbil does get a microchip then he will most likely go through a process similar to getting a shot. The microchip is inserted beneath the skin often on the back between the shoulder blades. The chip is registered with the manufacturing company or a company of your choice (like Home Again microchip services). When the chip is scanned an ID number comes up which is then run in the database to match with you and your contact information. Learn more from your vet Savannah, GA.
