Tell them they are the least smelly rodents. You hardly ever need to clean the cage. Also say that the tails are not like rats as they do not have pink tails. The tails are fluffy.
the parents do it you do not have to
Well, it depens what color the parents are and well if the black gerbil has black parents and if the ruby eyed white gerbils parents are white there babies will probably produce white and black babies.
adaptation is it own parents that help it survive
Yes, the parents do not fight. Also, If you let them keep their litter, they will not produce another litter until the current litter has grown up.
For the safety of the gerbil, you should only hold the babies after they open their eyes. At this time, they are more mobile and should be picking up new scents. If you pick them up at a younger stage, the parents may think your scent is that of a predator and they will kill and eat the baby.
What you must do is act like you really want one, go to the library and check out books about how to care about a gerbil, then "read" them. Then say you will take care of it and stuff, and possibly pay for it.
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 .
