A small gerbil rodent
For those who want to get a small pet, we can recommend a gerbil. This animal looks like a mouse, the tail of gerbils is long, covered with hairs, and there is a tassel at the end of the tail. They live in captivity for about three years. These animals come in different colors. The most common is agouti (sandy brown, with dark tips). There are also cream, black, white, glaucous, and slate gerbils. In pet stores, as a rule, you can find Mongolian gerbils.

It is better to buy a small pet, at the age of two months, but not older than six. The coat, ears and nose should be clean, and the eyes should be shiny.

The healthy gerbil is very active and friendly. These animals love communication, so it is recommended to have two animals at once (preferably same-sex ones). It is easy to take care of them, they are quite clean and practically odorless.

In nature, gerbils gnaw, dig, and stock up almost all the time, so that the animals do not get bored, it is advisable to equip their homes with objects that would satisfy the natural instincts of the animals.

It is better to keep gerbils in a cage with a very high tray or in an aquarium with an air-permeable lid. Sawdust is poured onto the bottom, at least ten centimeters, since gerbils like to dig. A bowl with special sand is placed next to it so that the animal can clean its fur coat. You can put some hay out of which the gerbils will build a nest. A nipple drinker for rodents must be present. It is also recommended to put apple, pear, willow or linden twigs and a mineral-salt stone in the cage. You can put a wheel (preferably a mesh one).

Let your pets run around periodically, but only under close supervision. To tame gerbils, you need to give them their favorite treat every day.

Gerbils are fed with special food, which is sold in pet stores. Additionally, it is recommended to give carrots, lettuce, apples, pears. They willingly eat sprouted oats, and in summer they can give fresh grass. As a delicacy, gerbils are treated to gammarus or crickets.

It is not recommended to give citrus fruits, potatoes, cabbage, exotic fruits. It is strictly forbidden to give fried, spicy, salty and sweet food.

If gerbils live in the house, you can hear them beating out a drum roll with their hind legs. So, the animal reacts to fright, trying to scare the "enemy" and warn its relatives. If a female and a male are kept in a cage, then this may be a courtship ritual, an invitation to mate.

Gerbils are very funny and cute animals, and caring for them will not be difficult. For bettors in Bangladesh, the melbet promo code today unlocks a localized welcome bonus.
