Gerbils - Always Great Pets, Always Overlooked.

   When you want to buy a small pet, what pets do you think of?
We all know the answer - guniea pigs, hamsters, and chinchillas, the rodents that everyone wants. But what about the other small pets, like rats, ferrets, mice, gerbils? Rats and ferrets are talked about as if they are pests, with mice sliding into the conversation here and there. But people rarely ever know anything aboyt gerbils.

    Most people think that like many other rodents, that gerbils are nocturnal. this isn't true. Gerbils react to seeing something move in the enviorment around them, so they will wake up when you normally wake up, so they'll adjust to your normal schedule very quickly, and they wont be sad without another gerbil in the cage.
 

   Gerbils are the perfect small pet for children! Whether or not they are frequently handled, they do not really care, and they leave small amounts of feces and pee, so their cages are easy to clean. The gerbil is the perfect pet fo someone who wants a small pet but doesn't like hairless and scaly tails, because the tail of a gerbil is covered in fur.

    Gerbils are great pets, and you should really give that nice little gerbil alone in the petstore cage a chance in your house, because once you're friends, his life will be a lot better!
