About this animal

Gerbils are one of the few small rodents that are properly active during daylight hours, so you actually see them. They are obsessive diggers and will spend weeks building a tunnel system if you give them deep enough bedding. These two are brothers and must stay together.

Care at a glance

  • Environment

    18 to 24 °C, dry. They come from desert steppe and hate damp

  • Diet

    Gerbil seed mix, occasional fresh vegetables, very few sunflower seeds

  • Housing

    A deep tank of 100 × 50 cm with at least 30 cm of bedding to burrow in

  • Alone or in company

    Always in a same-sex pair or group. A lone gerbil suffers

  • Lifespan

    3 to 4 years

  • Handling

    Curious and quick; scoop with two hands, never grab the tail
