Gerbils do cost alot as they cannot be placed in any old cage; they need a gerbilarium. These special cages are very costly, they are made of glass so that the gerbils cannot chew through and escape. They need lots of sawdust to cover the floor as they dig; its part of their nature. They can eat alot. They need a partner to live with; they can become very unhappy if left to live on their own and can die of lonelyness. They need lots of hay to build their nests with. Their toys cost more as they are made to be non chewable. But they are very clean animals and hardlyurinate or excrete, which mean they only need to be cleaned every two weeks. Some only need to be cleaned every month!
A gerbil will cost about 10-20 dollars.
They're cheap pets.
well that depends on what you buy and how much it costs.
about $100,000,000.00 for a one pound bag(:
it depends on what store you get it from i got mine for £6.50 each
About $15, more or less. Supplies add up, though.
Not much In human portions not alot. But a gerbil will drink as much as it can.
I just bought a gerbil for £7.95 really good price. I am very happy.
the fatter the gerbil, the thicker the bedding.
a gerbil is cheaper as its much smaller and cleaner
gerbils themselves cost 10$ to 20$ the cage (for only one gerbil) cost 25$ to 40$ the food is about 5$ the chew sticks are at least 3$ two gerbils probably cost more
Average adult gerbil weighs about 2.5 oz
