The Monogolian gerbil is a very popular pet. Its natural curiosity is one of the reasons for its popularity among pet owners. The gerbil does not usually run or hide from a new noise. Rather, it is attracted by a new sound. This curious response makes them an attentive, active, and friendly pet.
Nothing seems to interest a gerbil more than a tunnel.
It is important that any materials given to a gerbil must be sturdy and non-toxic. Gerbils are easy to raise with basic care. They are naturally hardy animals and will live a normal healthy life provided you offer a well-balanced diet and maintain a clean, dry environment. Gerbils are not carriers of infectious diseases. Most diseases and disorders which affect gerbils have a direct relationship with improper food handling and poor housing management by the pet owner.
