Jumpy Gerbils

I got pet gerbils on Christmas,2015. I named them Peanut butter and Bananas,I have learned lots about them,including that they can jump up to a foot high!
                                                             Some gerbils will let you dress them up!

If gerbils form a strong bond,they will sleep together!So cute.

Some gerbils bite,but not unless they are scared,angry,or threatened.


                                  Sometimes if you are lucky,you will see a tired gerbil do this. ;)
                                                                             


These are some care tips.


Here are the PROS and CONS

PROS:
*gerbils are super cute
*they are diurnal and nocturnal (awake almost all of the 24 hours of the day)
*will chew up toilet paper tubes for you (lol)
*are pretty low maintenance except for that they need a bit of playtime now and then
*they poop in the same place most of the time (if they do not, pick up a poo and place it in the area you want them to "go" in,repeat as necessary)


CONS:
*they can jump very,very high (this can be a pro or con)
*they poop a lot
*they need company if they are to live the max. possible years
*their tails are very loosely connected to the rest of them,if picked up by the tail it will most likely fall off,their tails don't grow back
