Book excerpt: Who doesn’t wish to share his or her home with a cage full of “Furry Mongolian Friends” aka gerbils!? Author Susan Anastasi certain does! She describes these irresistible critters as “quiet, clean, friendly, curious, active, and easy-to-please.” In deciding whether the gerbil is for you, Anastasi offers this advice: “If you are looking for a seemingly limitless cache of cuteness—from their long, fanning whiskers and large almond-shaped eyes to heir bunnylike hind legs and tufted tail tips—then gerbils are for you!” Clearly bitten by the gerbil bug, the author begins by providing some basic natural history about gerbils, their origins on the Mongolian range, and an overview of their behaviors. Anastasi defends her favorite pocket pet and asserts that the gentle gerbil does not deserve its Latin name (Meriones ungiculatus), which translates as “clawed warrior.” Filled with terrific color photographs, Gerbils summarizes the basic needs of these adorable rodents, specifically addressing their housing requirements, the cost and commitment involved, and their interactions with children and other pets. The following are devoted to purchasing a healthy gerbil from a pet shop, hobby breeder, or shelter; introducing the gerbil to the home; housing and feeding; taming and handling the pet gerbil; health considerations and potential household hazards; breeding and raising the young; and exhibiting gerbils at shows. The discussion on housing covers the selection of the ideal enclosure, basic housing setup, accessories, safety, and a guide to cleaning the tank. The chapter “Taming and Handling Your Gerbils” offers a step-by-step socialization process to acclimate the gerbil to its new handler and surroundings plus instructions for handling the gerbil and discouraging nipping. All keepers will be interested in the chapter on keeping gerbils healthy through smart preventative care; topics covered include allergies; broken limbs and head injury; teeth, tail, and ear problems; dehydration; diarrhea; heat stroke; hypothermia; mites, and more. Gerbil enthusiasts who are looking to become gerbil midwives will find complete instructions for breeding and raising pups (baby gerbils) in the chapter about reproduction. It covers planning a litter, setting up a breeding tank, mating, caring for the pregnant mom, birthing, fostering, growth cycles, weaning, handling pups, and more. The chapter “Fun with Gerbils” offers ideas for games, art projects, photographing, and training gerbils to do seven fun tricks. Resources include lists of publications, clubs, organizations, and websites. Glossary of terms and index included.

Download or read book Gerbil Pet Owners Handbook written by Ralph Hooks and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-08-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerbils are little, burrowing rodents that have captivated the hearts of pet owners all around the globe. They are known for their lively attitude, amiable personality, and manageable size, making them ideal pets for both children and adults. This chapter goes into the history, origin, species, traits, and behavior of these interesting critters, serving as a good basis for new and potential gerbil owners. History and Origin Gerbils as pets originated in the enormous deserts and semi-deserts of Asia, Africa, and India. The Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus), native to Mongolia's desert areas and northern China, is one of the most popular pet animals today. These robust creatures thrive in difficult regions with severe temperatures and little water resources. Gerbils were introduced to the scientific community in the early twentieth century. They were introduced to the United States as laboratory animals in the 1950s because of their good health, ease of breeding, and manageable size. Gerbils swiftly moved from lab cages to family homes, thanks to their appealing personalities and low maintenance needs. Different types of gerbils While the Mongolian gerbil is the most often maintained variety, there are over 100 other gerbil species, each with its own characteristics and habitats. Other significant species include: - Pallid Gerbil (Gerbillus perpallidus): The Pallid Gerbil is endemic to North Africa and is less frequent in the pet trade. It is distinguished by its pale fur and huge eyes. - The fat-tailed gerbil (Pachyuromys duprasi): This species is distinguished by its large tail, which is used to retain fat. It is native to the Sahara Desert and has a kind temperament, making it another good pet option. - Shaw's Jird (Meriones shawi): Shaw's Jird, which is larger than a Mongolian gerbil, lives in North African deserts. It is not usually kept as a pet, although it is known for its excellent health and powerful digging instincts. Each species has unique care requirements and habits, so knowing the exact needs of the gerbil you pick is critical to giving the best care possible. Gerbil Characteristics and Behavior Gerbils are known for their lively and inquisitive personalities. They are gregarious creatures that usually live in colonies in the wild. When maintained as pets, they flourish in couples or small groups, reducing loneliness and encouraging natural activities.
