Not sure about the previous answer, but they sure as hell can't spell. :/
Gerbils make wonderful pets. They are mild tempered and it takes a lot to stress out a gerbil so much that it bites, making them easier to tame and better for children than things such as hamsters. Gerbils are also diurnal, so they are awake during the day unlike hamsters. Gerbils are desert animals and so use water more efficiently, resulting in less waste and less cage smell. Gerbil adults average about 4-5 inches in length with an equally sized furry tail, weighing an average of 2-4 ounces. They are curious creatures that come with many personalities and colors.
Gerbils can never be held by the tail, since their tail will "deglove" and come off much like a lizard's tail. However, unlike a lizard, their tail does 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--gerbils are fascinating critters!
