About the Gerbil

The Mongolian gerbil is a small desert rodent that became a popular house pet after the 1950s. Unlike a mouse it has a furry tail, along with strong back legs for hopping and digging tunnels. Gerbils are busy, curious animals that thump their back feet on the ground to warn the group of danger. This little outline works well for a small-pets display, with a clear path to follow from burrow to surface.

Gerbils were first kept as pets in the English-speaking world after 1954.
