In the deserts gerbils bury tunnels underground that they call 'chambours.' And one gerbil is in charge of that one. Gerbils often group up together to defend each other from predators such as Snakes, Birds probably.
fenic foxes eat girbils in the wild.
The desert
In the Middle East, Asia, and Africa gerbils can be found living in the wild. When gerbils are in the wild they live in groups and can tell each other apart by smell.
No, gerbils are definitely social animals, but they are territorial. Gerbils get depressed if alone, and may even become aggressive. It is best to keep gerbils in same-sex pairs, this way they have one buddy, and there is no chance of declanning, which can happen with groups of gerbils mroe than two.
If their in the wild, they hunt it. If they are owned by someone you give them food. In the wild gerbils dig up roots or forage for seeds. But if they are domestic/pets then you will need to give them food.
The Mongolinian Gerbil (a.k.a the one most people keep as a pet) is found in Mongolia(no suprise there) but they also have reletives from the same genus(Gerbillus) Living in arid regions of Asia minor and Africa.Gerbils live in Mongolia and a few other deserts.
Yes gerbils live other places to, and that is Africa, Mexico and some other places
Gerbils are omnivores, and will eat certain insects in the wild. They are able to handle protein in this way, so would probably be ok with a tiny piece of ham.
sandy areas of Africa, Middle East and Asia
well it depends, wild gerbils usually live in warm, humid, climates such as the desert. but if their not they live in a cage. ;)
Gerbils originate in the outer desert regions of Mongolia. The Mongolian people do not eat gerbils. The average gerbil in captivity weighs about 2 and 1/2 ounces and ones in the wild are smaller so there wouldn't be a lot of meat.
No. Not unless they have been wild for a very long time, and have a really strong immune system.
