No they do not. They might even die of loneliness, so if you're thinking of getting a gerbil always get two or more!
No they do not, I have a female and she has lived alone for 2years now, and she is perfectly happy how she is :) Hope this helps. :) Some gerbils can live alone but some can not. Some gerbils live shorter lives without a cage buddy.
Gerbils live all over the place! There are actually many different species of gerbils. Domesticated gerbils are Mongolian gerbils, which means they are originally from Mongolia. Gerbils are desert animals, so they live in semiarid and arid places, like the deserts of Mongolia.
To eat? Nope To live with? Nope
Other gerbils.
two boy gerbils should not fight, aslong as they knew each other form since they were pups. if not, use the split cage method and you should be fine. if you leave some old bedding in the cage when you clean it out gerbils are less likely to fight. girl gerbils are more dominent so boys are less likely to fight then girls. always keep a pair of gerbils, or they will get depressed. some gerbils do like to live alone, but this is uncommon.
Not sure why the gerbil would be sad, unless he is alone. Gerbils are highly sociable and need another one to live with.
Gerbils live in the dessert and Rats live about anywhere.
There are many differant breeds of gerbils some live in the Mongolian desert.
yes, gerbils like to live in groups like a meerkat in australia. if the cage is big enough, if u have a small cage they will get territorial
some gerbils come from Egypt in Africa
no
Gerbils are normally better with a mate or in packs. Some even say they have a longer life span.
