Where were gerbils first found?

Answer 1

Nearly all of the pet gerbils in the United States originated from the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. If you purchase a gerbil from a pet store then it likely came from a farm where small animals are mass produced for pet store purchases. They may also come from local research labs or from homes where the owner could not care for them. The employees generally don't know where or how the animal came to be there.

If you purchase a gerbil from a local breeder then you will know when the gerbil was born and have some assurance that it comes from a humane and understanding environment. A good breeder will have no problems telling you where they got their gerbils and will outbreed as much as possible. Outbreeding is the opposite of inbreeding and ensures the health and longevity of the litters that are born.
