Gerbils need exercise, as does any lifeform, to maintain a healthy life. The best way to do this is to provide a wheel in their cage. Many gerbils love a wheel! A fun way to add exercise may be to purchase a small rodent ball, and allow your gerbil some free roaming time in a safe area (i.e. away from other pets, stairs, electricity, etc.).

How the gerbil is adapted to its environment?
The gerbil lives in a desert environment. They get most of their water from their food but still need water to drink. They can stand heat. They won't pee a lot because they can't waste water in the desert. Gerbils need exercise because they move fast. Also they need to chew. Like all rodents gerbils teeth grow quickly and they need to wear them down. Gerbils tails, kind of like lizards, will break at the tip. If you grab the very end of a gerbils tail, it will break off with a lot of blood so as to distract their predator. Unfortunately, it will not grow back. This will not harm the gerbil, only help them if they're in danger.
