INFO: Gerbils are curious and not easily startled. They do well in active households. They are gentle, social and enjoy living in pairs and sometimes trios. They need a habitat with a solid floor and large enough for a food dish, water bottle and hiding area. A habitat with bars spaced closely together is necessary. They enjoy multi-level homes. They can use wheels that have solid surfaces.
