yes they can but if you have any other pet keep them inside so the gerbil won't get eaten outside
No. if you freed your gerbil in the Forrest it would get eaten by something, or starve if it couldn't find the right food. if you can no longer house your gerbil, give it to a friend, advertise over the web, or try and give it back to the petshop/breeder.
THERE IS NO OUTDOOR WEATHER SAFE FOR A GERBIL! If your gerbil is outside, it can run away or get eaten by a hawk or something! Maybe if you put it in a ball outside in the spring or fall, but you'll need to stay with it the entire time it is outside. But putting a gerbil outside unprotected is really dangerous, even if you are right there.
After 24 hours you can hold your gerbil. Or in other words, one day.
If your gerbil is female she may be pregnant but in the case of single or male gerbils check the cage for hidden food after feeding because they might be over eating. If a gerbil hasn't eaten in a while and then is fed this could cause sudden over eating or weight gain.
Yes about 100 a year
Sorry - that's not possible ! If you bought your gerbil from a pet store - chances are it had contact with a male before you got it.
Either your gerbil is pregnant, or they have eaten too many sunflower seeds in one sitting. Try removing sunflower seeds from their diet. If they are still fat after one week, then your gerbil is probably expecting. For info on how to take care of baby gerbils, ask on this site 'How do you take care of baby gerbils?'.
I would take him out a few hours after birth, because he will eat the babies if there is something wrong with them, lack of protein, or if he feels stressed. But once the pinkies are to big to be eaten and have grown some fur, you can put him back in. You should also split the pinkies up before they are six weeks old, because all the females will probably become pregnant.
No, hamsters are solitary, and also omnivorous. A gerbil would run a great risk of being killed and eaten by the hamster.
Like if you intruduce a baby gerbil to a female and a male gerbil they might be nice to him but the male gerbil might play fight or fight in the cage i do not think if you leave the baby gerbil in the same cage with the male gerbil or a female gerbil the female gerbil migt fight or play fight with the baby gerbil if u do please be real care full because if the male gerbil no that the babby gerbil if its a baby girl gerbil yhey will mate or if u do the same with the adult female gerbil they mate to with a baby boy gerbil or adult gerbil will mate to and also mate means that the female gerbil have babbies with the male gerbils .
