Yes, gerbils are wonderful! Hamsters may be the more popular pet, but why? They are nocturnal and get grumpy when awoken, which leads to excessive biting. Gerbils are diurnal, and take naps throughout the day, but are awake when your children are. Gerbils also bite far less than hamsters. And, best for the parents, gerbils are desert animals and therefore produce less waste, causing their cage to take longer to smell bad! If you purchase your gerbil from a breeder, they will most likely be more tame and healthier than those you can buy at a pet store. A responsible breeder will have spent more time with the pups, working to make them hand-tame and making sure they have all they need to be healthy. Check with the American Gerbil Society to find a breeder in your area.
maybe if they are gentle but otherwise a good pet would be a bird
cedar and pine are not good for gerbils. it gives them urinary tract infections.
Gerbils have an good sense of smell and hearing, but poor sight.
Male gerbils can be neutered, but it is not recomended. Female gerbils should not be spayed. In general male gerbils should not be neutered unless there is a good reason for it.

try it
yes
i dont see why not
I'm not quite sure,but I think they do. I have two gerbils named Cookie and Biscuit and they have great sense of location. Not all gerbils do. Maybe you are lucky and have a gerbil that does have good sense location. What I do know is gerbils have great sense of smell.
No, any fruit is good for gerbils to eat
drift wood
