Fossil relatives of the common gerbil have been discovered as far back as the Middle Miocene Epoch, which was about 16.4 million to 11.2 million years ago!
The gerbils we commonly see as pets came from Mongolia. In 1935, twenty breeding pairs were deported to the UK, USA and Japan. The pet gerbils we have today can trace their history back to these forty original gerbils.
