Some times. Gerbils are group animals. They do not lead solitary lives. You see gerbils groom each other and keep each other company. If you only had one gerbil then it would probably live a short life.
No not necessarily. If a gerbil is alone it won't die but there is evidence that a gerbil living alone can shorten their lives. I would recommend getting two but if it is old or not from the same litter as another you can use safe glass mirror to make it seem like there another. This gerbil will miss out on grooming and sleeping with others which causes it to become Lonely or depressed. If you play with it enough though it should be OK.
No but if you get it a friend, make sure that they won't kill each other. A gerbil is a pack creature and normally has a friend. If you only have one, it might lonely but it will be fine.
Yes there is.A lilac gerbil is a VERY rare species of gerbil, you will only get one once in a lifetime. They are a sort of grey colour, though if you look closely, it is LILAC but very light.
it means that your hamster is only walking with one leg, limping to one side
Roland Rat didn't have a pet gerbil, but one of his friends, Kevin, was a gerbil.
they will happily eat the pellets and minerals in a pet shop food. although they like fresh foods in it such as carrots, ( only one slice a day) apples and plums.
Bandage the tail. Or separate them.
When you are told you are allowed to get one.
one of the reasons are because if the momma gerbil gave birth to 10 babies in one litter she might not have time to feed all of them and she wont want to see them die so she just kills them and then eats them
it would die out because there is not that much sunlight in the room because it only has one window
That's a bad thing to do, the gerbil could die. In the wild they wouldn't find much water so their body's can't cope with large amounts. Also gerbils aren't used to large amounts of water on their fur, if they can't get dry or warm again then they'd die.
Gerbils have sleepy-dust too, so when they produce a lot, it sometimes sticks their lids together for a while. If the lids don't un-stick for quite a long time, I would thoroughly advise taking to the vet for a check.
