how long do gerbils live
Source(s): Raised gerbils, hamsters, mice, rats, and other little critters. Gerbils, like hamsters and rats, may live for only 2 or 3 years at the most. Gerbils live for slightly longer than say hamsters and as an average can live 3-4 years. However, gerbils are very prone to tumours, many benign, but they can sometimes cause difficulties and therefore can reduce the life expectancy of said gerbie. Have to say slightly confused to find this question in reptiles...
