Gerbils make great pets. They are adorable, energetic, and very social. They can be trained to do tricks and interact with their owners. Gerbils are also relatively easy to care for, which is why they’re a popular pet choice.
If you’re interested in getting a gerbil as a pet, there are still some important things that you should know before making your decision.
Here’s what you should know before getting a gerbil:
- Gerbils live for about 3 years, but they can live up to 5 years in captivity.
- They’re nocturnal, so if you want to see them out and about during the day, you’ll have to get used to their schedule.
- They’re very active and playful—they love digging and chewing! This means that they need lots of toys and space to play in.
- They are social animals who enjoy being with other gerbils, but they can also get along with cats or dogs if introduced early enough.
- Gerbils make great pets for kids because they’re clean and non-allergenic (and because they are so cute).
- They do not make good pets for homes with small children. They are delicate and can be injured if handled too hard or roughly.
