How long is a gerbils life span?

Answer 1

The proper way to ask that is: How long can a gerbil live if it has lethargy?

Usually if a gerbil has lethargy, it means they are often lazy, always tired maybe sometimes even weak. A gerbil with lethargy can live for it's normal length if you are willing to help it. If you notice he is too weak or just too tired to get his own food, put the food next to him. If the gerbil is too tired to reach his water, put the water in a dish(though this is not recommended, you could try to bring the bottle to him), that way he can reach it better. If he cannot eat, than you must bring him/her to a vet, otherwise your gerbil has a low chance of surviving. Gerbils need exercise as well, if your gerbil can run on a wheel for at least two to three minutes, your gerbil will do fine, but if it stops every so many seconds. It will become obese, with less exercise, a gerbil may become more lethargic than before.

If you need any more info just note.
