Gerbil 3

Extremely smart creatures! Please buy a cage that securely closes as they are prone to escaping.

Good clean pets, but often do not enjoy being handled. Nor do they "play" but do like running around in a space provided with no escape holes and always under supervision. Have a bit more tollerence for small children then hamsters do but not so much as to suggest they are a good pet for them. Do best in warmer rooms and with older children with gentle hands.

QUICK LITTLE GUYS. especially when they don't want to be held. ;)

males do best alone, females can be in pairs
