Proper diet
Just like any pet, gerbils need adequate physical and mental stimulation. Here are some tips to keep your pet gerbils happy:
Gerbils are happiest being around other gerbils
Ideally, gerbils of the same sex should be housed together except if you want to deal with baby gerbils. There will be less displays of aggressive behavior if the gerbils were raised together. Introducing a new gerbil will take time and close supervision to make sure they don’t fight each other to death. Even if it’s only a one-hour separation, there memory recall is quite low or even non-existent, so you have to reintroduce them again.
Chew toys
The teeth of gerbils never stops growing so they will need to chew on something to keep their teeth well-trimmed.
Proper diet
Gerbils have specific nutritional needs that need to be met every day. You can ask your veterinarian Orangevale, CA for a commercial food that he can recommend for your pet. Supplement his basal diet with fresh fruits and veggies. Learn more here.
