A gerbil's tail will grow to be as long as they are--about 4-5 inches. But never pick them up by it--a gerbil's tail will come off like a lizards, but won't grow back.

How the gerbil is adapted to its environment?
The gerbil lives in a desert environment. They get most of their water from their food but still need water to drink. They can stand heat. They won't pee a lot because they can't waste water in the desert. Gerbils need exercise because they move fast. Also they need to chew. Like all rodents gerbils teeth grow quickly and they need to wear them down. Gerbils tails, kind of like lizards, will break at the tip. If you grab the very end of a gerbils tail, it will break off with a lot of blood so as to distract their predator. Unfortunately, it will not grow back. This will not harm the gerbil, only help them if they're in danger.

Do gerbils have unusual traits?
Gerbils are desert rodents, which coincidentally makes them wonderful pets! The lack of water in the deserts means that a gerbil will use its body water more resourcefully, resulting in less urination. This means the cage will stink less than a hamster or guinea pig! Gerbils have unique tails. While many people look at their tails and think mice, a gerbil's tail actually has a distinguishable tuft of fur at the end of it that gives it a graceful appearance. Their tails can also break off much like a lizards tail for self-defense and eluding enemies; however, their tail will not grow back. Gerbils are surprisingly great parents! While the rodent world is plagued with bad raps for cannibalism, gerbils will only cannibalize their young if the pup is dead, their is a lack of resources or space, or they feel threatened. As long as you do not mind another litter, keeping dad in the tank is possible as well, as he will trade places with mom and watch the litter for a while! Gerbils technically cannot be albino. As of yet, there has been no albino gene discovered. However, you can have a red-eyed white gerbil. How is this possible? The red-eyed white is a result of two separate genes--one giving it red eyes and the other giving it a white coat--instead of one gene that works to make it albino. Hope you found this interesting, because gerbils are rather interesting animals!
