This gerbil is a friendly and social companion who enjoys interacting with people and is comfortable being handled. It gets along well with other gerbils, making it a great addition to a bonded pair or group. This gentle gerbil is well-suited for homes looking for a calm and approachable small pet. It will need to go home with another same-sex gerbil from its group or to a home with one or more existing companions.
Gerbils are nocturnal, very adventurous, tend to have a friendly nature and can be easy to hand tame! Gerbils are social creatures and should be housed with same-sex gerbils except for medical or behavioral reasons.
We recommend a 10 gallon or larger tank filled with about 2” of paper bedding or other nesting material. Nesting material should be loose, light, easy to manipulate, and of course safe. Enclosures should be well ventilated but kept out of direct drafts, and should provide plenty of enclosed opaque shelters for the gerbils to retreat into as desired. Enclosures should provide lots of enrichment for the gerbils to meet their natural needs in the areas of chewing/gnawing, physical movement, resting/hiding, and nesting material or food to forage. A properly sized wheel or disc is a necessity for the gerbils to meet their exercise needs.
The needs of each gerbil are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the gerbil you are interested in, please visit us and talk with our volunteers/staff! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.
* If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, or if you just want to browse in person feel free to stop by during our open hours.
* If you are not ready to adopt, but are in a position to donate, please visit www.mspca.org/nevinsgift .
