Extractions: Other Gerbil Owners What Is A Gerbil? A gerbil is a rodent halfway between a rat and a mouse in size. They're usually 2-4 oz, and have a slightly different facial shape than a mouse or rat. Their long tails are also covered in fur and end in a bit of a tuft. Their eyes are deep black or ruby red, and they come in dozens of different colors, from regular agouti, to black, to siamese, to even blue! Gerbils make fun and entertaining pets for both young and old. Gerbils are fun to watch. Their antics can entertain you for hours. They are also incredibly friendly. They can be taught to climb up your shoulder and can sit there, or on your head ;) I think gerbils make the BEST pets! Gerbils require a minimum of care. Their homes take up little space, they are low-maintanance because they create little odor, and they do not need frequent vet visits. They also are not as prone to tumors or respiratory problems as, say, mice and rats. They are also very friendly, social, and rarely bite, as is the case with some rodents that will remain anonymous. Things to Consider First Before you get your gerbils, you have to decide just what you're looking for. How many do you want? What colors do you prefer? Do you prefer a certain gender? Do you want to breed?

http://www.practical-pet-care.com/ebooks_rodents.php

Extractions: We all want our beloved rodents to be happy and healthy. This means paying the vet hundreds of dollars for exams, right? No! Ask any vet the care your rodent gets at home has far more effect on his health than any vet exam. In fact, most vets give out advice along with prescriptions advice that could have prevented the illness in the first place! Wouldn't you like to have that advice now, before you have to hear it from your vet? Rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters, and guinea pigs all have different needs. For instance, guinea pigs cannot metabolize vitamin C on their own, so you must provide it in their diet every day, or they can develop serious, and even fatal, health problems. Rats and mice don't have this problem, however. Understanding your rodent's diet needs is easy, will keep him healthier and happier, and can prevent expensive treatments in the future. Note: we are not saying you will never have to visit the vet again! Vet care is important to your pet's health. However, with the care techniques in this book, you can prevent a multitude of costly illnesses with just a little knowledge!

http://www.webcom.com/lstead/rodents/gerbils.html

Extractions: Mongolian Gerbils are one of what I've called "the big four" of rodent pets (hamsters, mice, rats, and gerbils). They have been kept as pets for roughly 30 years and are available in a wide variety of colors. The Mongolian Gerbil is the species most commonly kept as pets and unless otherwise noted the term "gerbil" almost always refers to this species. Other species available as pets are Duprasi or Fat Tailed Gerbils, Shaws Jirds, and a few West African Sspecies. Gerbils have many features that make them excellent pets. Probably their greatest advantage is that they are desert animals and have a very efficient use of food and water. The benefit of this for a pet owner is that they produce little urine and their cages do not need to be cleaned as frequently as other rodent pets. Another major positive to gerbils is that they are absolutely fearless. People have speculated that this may be due to a limited number of predators in their home environment or that nothing in their "pet" environment pushes their buttons. Since the animals are not afraid, they are generally easier to tame, and their response to new stimuli is generally to explore (they are very curious) or flee rather than to bite. The only negative I can think of with gerbils is their incessant gnawing and scratching. This makes it impossible to use plastic cages. If left in a plastic cage for permanent housing, they will eventually gnaw their way out. If left in one for a short time, they will usually scratch the sides to an extent that within a few weeks, the plastic will be sufficiently scratched that you will not be able to see through it.

Extractions: I. Gerbil: Is a Gerbil right for you? INDEX Could a clawed jird be the perfect pet for you? Nope, that isn't a typothe word "jird" translates as "large desert rodent," and it's another name for the Mongolian gerbil. If properly cared for, these curious and gentle critters can make wonderful animal companions. In the wild, gerbils are brownish-reddish-gray in color, which helps them blend in with their desert environment. Pet gerbils are available in a variety of colors, including white, soft caramel and all-black. Unlike other members of the rodent family (we're talking mice, rats and hamsters), gerbils have excellent vision. They measure in at about four inches, plus a tail of the same length, and have an average lifespan of 3 to 5 years. If you're thinking about getting a gerbil, you really should consider getting more than one. These social animals live in family communities in the wild, and their domestic counterparts will get lonely if kept by themselves. Please bring home at least a pair; opt for same-sex siblings if at all possible. As adult males tend to fight, ASPCA experts recommend two females for first-time gerbil parents. While most gerbils sold as pets are Mongolian gerbils, or Meriones unguiculatus, other species are sometimes available. However, please note that members of different species should NOT be kept together. Do you have the time it takes to properly care for gerbils? These curious charmers aren't the type of pets you can just feed, water and passively watch through the bars of a cage. Gerbils are easily hand-tamed and need supervised playtime out of the cage every day. Gentle by nature, gerbils seldom bite if properly handledbut if you don't think you'd feel comfortable handling them, it's best to consider another pet.

They are not, however, usually recommended in household with very small children. General Information Ferrets come in several different color schemes: the Fitch ferret is the most popular. Fitch ferrets have a buff colored coat with black markings on the face, feet, and tails. Albino ferrets are white with pink eyes. Some ferrets have a buff coat with light markings.

Extractions: In the wild, their color is brownish-gray, to blend in with the desert environment they live in. Pet gerbils are also available in a variety of colors, including white, albino and black. Your pet gerbil will get really lonely if he's on his own, so it's a good idea to get at least two. If you introduce them when they're young, they'll be great friendsthat's why it's good to choose gerbils from the same litter. When adults who don't know each other are introduced, they may fight. And please keep males and females separated, or they will have babies. more>> YO, READ THIS! Say no to the small plastic hamster dens or other soft plastic toys for gerbils.

http://goto.glocalnet.net/natal/pcd.htm

Extractions: I think it is very interesting that people have so many different views on the topic of pet care. I have been thinking about this a lot. Some people I know use the smallest cages they possibly can and they give their animals the cheapest and easiest-to-feed kind of food to the animals, in order to be able to keep as many animals as possible for breeding purposes. Some of these people, when asked, of course have totally other views on pet care than the person with just a few highly beloved pets. This is exactly as with dog owners. Some dog owners think it is totally ok to leave the dog alone all day, and take it out on a 5 minute pee walk once in a while. Other dog owners would feel that it is totally unthinkable to leave such a highly social animal as a dog alone all day, and would also take the dog out for long walks every day. Some dog owner's fool themselves by getting two dogs and think that two dogs may be happier together in the absence of their owner. But two lonely dogs are just two lonely dogs, waiting for their owner. It is better to pay somebody to walk the dog during the day, or even pay somebody (a human companion) to

Extractions: Eva's Home Page Eva's Cavy Page Eva's Mouse Page Eva's Rat Page ... Gerbil booklet for sale (In Swedish) To have gerbils is to have a big aquarium where they live and enjoy life. In order to get your gerbils tame you need to handle them a little every day. They don't like to be picked up by the tail. But gerbils actually loved being petted , so don't forget to pet them even if only for a minute a day. Gerbils are healthy animals and thrive in large aquaria with lots of hay, toilet rolls and bedding material . My gerbils usually have wooden houses too. They chew at their houses and hide their babies in them. Gerbils can become extremely tame and are really perfect pets. Gerbils do not smell and are extremely inexpensive to keep and feed. My gerbils can sit on my shoulder and never jumps away. The younger gerbils have a tendency to be active all the time and they seem to be almost unable to sit still for long. But they do calm down with age, and an older gerbil may be very tame, coming up to you when you talk to it, loves to sit in your hand and be petted, and so on - it may even fall asleep in your hand! It is hard to imagine how tame gerbils can become if you have not experienced it yourself! You only need two gerbils to fill a big aquarium, no more and no less. Gerbils are highly territorial, and need lots of space at the same time as they are very social animals, so pleace keep your gerbils in pairs.
