Gerbil

Gerbils are small, sociable rodents known for their active and curious nature. They thrive in pairs or small groups, requiring a spacious, well-ventilated cage with plenty of bedding for burrowing. Provide a balanced diet of quality gerbil mix, fresh vegetables, and occasional treats. Regular handling helps build trust and prevents stress. Maintain a clean habitat by spot-cleaning daily and a full clean weekly to ensure optimal health. Gerbils need stimulation through toys and tunnels to promote mental and physical activity. With attentive care, gerbils can live happily for 3–4 years as engaging, low-maintenance companions.
