Re: Gerbil Needs?
You shouldn't just get one gerbil, they're social so you need a same sex pair or group, they shouldn't live alone.
You can buy mixes specifically for gerbils so I would stick with a good gerbil mix rather than feeding hamster food.
They do need lots of substrate so they can dig & tunnel & they chew like crazy so lots of things to chew!
I don't have experience of keeping them myself but I think quite a few members here do so someone else will probably be able to give more in depth advise.
