when they arent sad or mad! LOL. jk jk but they are happy if they exerise, have something to chew on, a wheel, food, water, ect
No they do not, I have a female and she has lived alone for 2years now, and she is perfectly happy how she is :) Hope this helps. :) Some gerbils can live alone but some can not. Some gerbils live shorter lives without a cage buddy.
He will become lonely and depressed, you will have to spend a lot of time with him so he is OK. Do not try to introduce a pair of gerbils that are strangers as they will fight (sometimes to the death).
maybe because they do not like it or they are annoyed . but maybe they squeak because they are happy.
I just bought a gerbil for £7.95 really good price. I am very happy.
like most rodents, when relaxed (or comfortable) in its surroundings and your company gerbils will stop and wash themselves. like most rodents, when relaxed (or comfortable) in its surroundings and your company gerbils will stop and wash themselves. like most rodents, when relaxed (or comfortable) in its surroundings and your company gerbils will stop and wash themselves.
Yes. While their food mostly consists of seed and vegetable crunchies, a gerbil would also be happy chasing down a cricket or mouthing a mealworm. These add protein to your gerbils diet, which is especially great for pregnant or nursing moms or young gerbils!
Other gerbils.
Gerbils are an animal and can not be "invented".
Male gerbils can be neutered, but it is not recomended. Female gerbils should not be spayed. In general male gerbils should not be neutered unless there is a good reason for it.
Yes, mice are smaller than gerbils, but I think gerbils are the right size.
no gerbils are not originally from the UK but instead from the deserts of Asia. But you can still buy gerbils in the UK
They do have seizures (this is common in young gerbils)
