Gerbils are often friendly, social creatures and a great option for a pet! They tend to be nocturnal and adventurous, and ove to live with other gerbils--same sex preferred!
We recommend a 10 gallon or larger tank filled with about 2” of paper bedding or other safe nesting material. Nesting material should be loose, light, and easy to manipulate. Enclosures should be well ventilated but kept out of direct drafts, and should provide plenty of enclosed opaque shelters for the gerbils to retreat into as desired. Enclosures should provide lots of enrichment for the gerbils to meet their natural needs in the areas of chewing/gnawing, physical movement, resting/hiding, and nesting material or food to forage. A properly sized wheel or disc is a necessity for the gerbils to meet their exercise needs.
If you think this gerbil could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm – no appointment or application needed.
You are welcome to enter our small animal rooms during open hours. Staff and volunteers will be happy to assist you!
