Yes, I would. I have 2 adults and 5 pups myself. They are faithful companions with beautiful coats. They are much cuter than pet guinea pigs, mice, rats, and hamsters. They also bite less than them.
In the choice of buying a rodent, I would choose a gerbil, but watch out!! When you go to the pet store, hold the gerbil you want. This is very important. When I went to the pet store, I thought one gerbil was SO cute, then I held him. He bit the fire out of me and blood was pouring out of my finger onto the floor. If they do bite you and you bleed, (which gerbils bite very very rarely, and the females mostly bite.) try to squeeze most of the blood out, because they are rats, and as we know, some have diseases. So good luck finding a gerbil!
Make sure you find one YOU want. Oh, and males bite less. I recommend getting a orange male. They are so sweet. Males bite your shirt and put holes in them sometimes, so keep them away from your shirt. Reg1gy has a special "gerbil shirt" :3
they also produce little waste, so yes.
some gerbils just do it for fun.
Gerbils are very playful animals and they love to run around in your sleeves and pockets, in fact some call them "pocket pets"
Rotastak Main Housing units, fairground fun, space command, creepy castle, pink palace are fine for gerbils as they are a big size.
For fun they like to chew paper and cardboard. They also like to run in plastic balls, once they learn how!
Gerbils are much better. They are inexpensive and fun to watch. Guniea pigs smell and are very costly.
they are similar, but not the same. they are both rodents, but have different shaped faces, and mice are slightly smaller. gerbils have fury tails, mice have hairless ones.gerbils hop on their hind legs, mice crawl around. gerbils smell less, are more inteligent (usually), and become more tame (usually). mice are the easiest small pet to look after as they are the least inteligent small animal. gerbils are more fun, and still very easy to look after. most people prefer pet gerbils to pet mice.
Other gerbils.
Gerbils are an animal and can not be "invented".
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)
