usually about 2-4 hours, and sometimes 1 hour, but not all the time.
Yah they do. I had 3 once, there names were Mutant, Ninja, and Turtles. They sit in a cage all day, so they get bored and sleep. They nap a lot, its ok. Get them some toys to play with, theyll love em and a wheel, they go crazy over those. Theyr usually hyper little buggers but they ware themselfs out alot. ;)
It is in a gerbil's nature to sleep alot. Although they are not strictly nocturnal, they can be as active in the day as they are in the night.
It depends. If your gerbil is tired, not very long as he will go to sleep. But a young, active gerbil may run all night on its wheel!
Gerbils are nappers (as in they take naps throughout day and night). You probably just aren't there when the gerbil is awake.
A warm (not hot or cold) place to sleep
You forgot to take the gerbil out of your butt before you went to sleep.
not very long they aren't like other rodent they dont sleep all day and are up all night at the most 1-2 hours a day otherwise u have a very lazy gerbil.
Give it time to rest and make sure it has a warm and cozy place to sleep.
if your gerbil is a female there usally quite small so you can tell by looking at there stomach like humans they get a bump and sleep more often but its best to get two of the same sex.
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 .
a gerbil is called a gerbil
You want to find a curious gerbil that, while it may run away from movement, will still stick its head out and sniff at you. If you're buying from a breeder, the gerbil is likely to be socialized, and may come right up to you. If your gerbil is not socialized, it isn't very hard to do so, it just takes a while. You want your gerbil to be active during most of the day (gerbils are not nocturnal, they are diurnal, which means they basically take naps and don't prefer day or night sleep), and the gerbil should be sleek and slim, but not skinny. Make sure to look for bright, shiny eyes, too.
Yes, pregnant gerbils usually sleep for long periods of time. This is due to them getting tired from carrying heavy weights. No need to worry if they sleep alot, just make sure they eat and drink lots too.
