petfinder.com has small animals including gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, etc. available for adoption.
No. if you freed your gerbil in the Forrest it would get eaten by something, or starve if it couldn't find the right food. if you can no longer house your gerbil, give it to a friend, advertise over the web, or try and give it back to the petshop/breeder.
The occidental gerbil is found only in Morocco
You want to find a curious gerbil that, while it may run away from movement, will still stick its head out and sniff at you. If you're buying from a breeder, the gerbil is likely to be socialized, and may come right up to you. If your gerbil is not socialized, it isn't very hard to do so, it just takes a while. You want your gerbil to be active during most of the day (gerbils are not nocturnal, they are diurnal, which means they basically take naps and don't prefer day or night sleep), and the gerbil should be sleek and slim, but not skinny. Make sure to look for bright, shiny eyes, too.
Yes, in fact crickets are a great source of protein and exercise for your gerbil, as well as entertainment for you! Here is a link to a breeder who filmed a video of her gerbil chasing and eating a cricket: http://www.thegerbils.com/maintenance5insects.htm
Biting is the only way a gerbil has to communicate with you that it doesn't like something. So to try and force them to stop isn't natural. Plenty of handling early on in life with gerbils from a responsible independent (not a pet store) breeder, will not result in a gerbil that bites hard or often.
I know what you're thinking;'I'll just go to a pet store'. Please don't! Pet stores often sell gerbils that have genetic deficiencies and some places (not all) mistreat them and don't provide them with proper care. They might even sell them with the intentions of selling them for snake food! The best bet for the best pet is to go to a breeder like myself. They can track the genetic history of gerbils to genetically healthy parents, and possibly grandparents. They take good care of them and have a good, steady supply. You can go to Google and type in 'gerbil breeders' and you are sure to find some breeder's websites. Also, the gerbil forum has a list of member websites, most of them belonging to breeders. To get to the gerbil forum, just type in 'the gerbil forum' on Google. Best of luck!

Put it with a male gerbil and have no other gerbils except them two they will become friends and may have interest in the other gerbil. Hope this info helped!!!!
i bought mine at petsmart they sell vet assured gerbils there and they live the longest if you buy them there,but if you do get one get two they love to cuddle but only get them from the same family. I would advise a breeder. They are much healthier and friendlier.
you find them by the columns
you look around
