Plain not with perfume or ink,led or any thing that you use to wright with or the gerbil will get food poisoning.
Yes.
Yes. Give him some sheets of unscented, non lotioned tissue and he will shred it up for bedding. Not all gerbils are the same, though, so make sure he doesn't eat it. My gerbils shred toilet paper for bedding.
For fun they like to chew paper and cardboard. They also like to run in plastic balls, once they learn how!
Gerbils love to chew, so anything they can chew that is SAFE. Wood toys from the petstore, toilet paper roles, paper towel rolls, etc....
Other gerbils.
Gerbils are an animal and can not be "invented".
They can gnaw on them, but they can't live on them.
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.
no gerbils are not originally from the UK but instead from the deserts of Asia. But you can still buy gerbils in the UK
Yes, mice are smaller than gerbils, but I think gerbils are the right size.
They do have seizures (this is common in young gerbils)
No, they are not related. Gerbils are rodents, Rabbits are not.
