Ideal as family pets, gerbils are a perennial favorite, especially with children. Their relatively small size and affectionate nature make them easy to hold and play with, and they are quick to entertain with their charming looks and interesting habits. These lovable, gentle creatures are also quiet, take up little space, and are simple to care for with the right information at hand. Gerbils covers everything you need to know to keep your new pet happy and healthy, including expert advice on housing, basic nutrition, health care, grooming, and fun activities that both pet and keeper will enjoy.
