Getting started with Gerbils

Anonymous
OK -- so the kiddies have been bugging us for a pet, and have their sights set on gerbils.

Just head over to Petsmart and pick up a "starter kit"?

Or is there a better/smarter way I should approach this?

Any tips?

We did the "starter kit" for our small animals, and so far, so good. They also have pamphlets on each kind, so you may have a quick reference, should you need it. Enjoy!

PP here. Most small animals only live a few years, so be aware!

Why? Is it stinky?
Or other reason you regret doing it?

Except bunny/rabbits & gunniepigs which can easily live 10-15 years! So don't let your kids sucker you into one when your at the pet store!

Maybe Richard Gere has a blog about it.

OU rgerbils lived about four years. They were very sweet and not stiny if you change the cage once every couple of weeks
