What different types of Gerbils are there?

By the way, did you know that there is a diverse group of Gerbil species?

1. Mongolian Gerbil: The superstar among Gerbils! This charismatic little rodent friend is by far the most popular Gerbil species as a pet. With its social nature and sociable lifestyle in a close-knit family, the Mongolian Gerbil wins the hearts of Gerbil fans all over the world. With a body length of 10 to 12 cm and a weight of 70 to 130 g, it brings joy and fun to the home for about 3 to 4 years.

2. Fat-tailed Gerbil: The Gerbil with a lush tail to be envied! This Gerbil species has a unique build and, you guessed it, a noticeably thick tail. Its tail acts as a storage place for fat and moisture, giving it a slightly "fat-tailed" appearance. The Fat-tailed Gerbil also has a different diet than its Mongolian cousins - it loves to feast on insects. So in addition to its main food, feel free to give it a tasty (dried) insect mix. This Gerbil is a territorial king and feels best when it is the sole ruler of its realm.

3. Persian Gerbil: The aristocrat among the Gerbils! This Gerbil species is larger than its Mongolian relatives and can reach a respectable age of 6 to 8 years. With its long, furry tail that ends in a dark tassel, the Persian Gerbil exudes pure elegance. They are pack animals and always need the company of at least one other gerbil. A lonely nobleman in his palace is of course not an option!

4. Pale Gerbil - Egyptian Gerbil: The mysterious charmer! Also known as the "Pale Gerbil", this Gerbil species has an intriguing appearance. With a soft, gray coat and a friendly personality, it is a favorite among Gerbil lovers. Although it is slightly smaller than the Mongolian Gerbil, it makes up for it with charm and charisma.

How to handle a Gerbil?

Let’s talk about the delicate art of Gerbil handling. It’s like handling royalty, but with a fluffy twist! If your Gerbils are snoozing during the day, it’s best to leave them alone as much as possible. After all, they need their beauty sleep, just like all divas in the rodent world.

But let’s say your Gerbil is awake and you want to pick him up, what do you do? Well, we have a little trick for you! The secret is in the subtle play of lifting. You don’t want your Gerbil to think that a giant bird of prey is coming down from the sky. So avoid the approach from above, unless you want your little friend to think that he’s starring in a thrilling action movie.

Instead, pick up your Gerbil like a true master by scooping him up gently from underneath. It is like serving a perfectly presented plate of rodent food. Carefully and with love. This makes your Gerbil feel safe and appreciated, and who doesn't like to feel appreciated?

Now, let’s be honest, gerbils aren’t exactly fans of cuddle sessions. They’re more of the “keep-your-hands-off” type, and we have to respect that. So, while you can’t really pet them like you would a fluffy puppy, you don’t have to worry about them treating your fingers like a tasty snack. They’re more of the peaceful type and aren’t likely to bite.

So remember, when you pick up your Gerbil, do it with the grace of a ballerina and the precision of an operating surgeon. They will thank you with their cute Gerbil looks and maybe even a soft squeak of appreciation. Enjoy your time with these little furry creatures and be the best Gerbil handler the rodent world has ever seen!

TheGerbil residence does not have to be high, but should above all have a spacious surface.
