But what is a gerbil?
The Mongolian gerbil is a small rodent originating from Asia. At first, it was a laboratory animal but this little creature was so much curious and docile that it fast became an adorable pet.
Sadly, in Quebec, peoples don't even know the gerbil. But in Europe, it almost replaced the hamster inmost pet shops.
Being social animals, gerbils interact a lot with the other. You can see them wrestle, box, run, jump and play with each other. They become the main attraction of the room and may even replace your TV set for a while.
It will always come to see you when you approach of its house. It is always curious and without a bit mischievousness.
It will make you smile when you'll see your little gerbils slowly wake up with its small eyes and come to see you. Or when you'll see them sleep all pile up. They are just so adorable!
If you are not convinced yet, I can tell you some other facts. Gerbils are very easy to maintain. They don't produce bad odours as hamsters, rat or mice. They practically never bite. They are active all day and may even get used to your daily routine. To know more about these lovable creatures, read the pages on that site and email me if you need more help!
