All seven gerbils that we had in the past were all healthy and some of them lived more than 5 years. Unlike hamsters, they never tried to escape from the cage. But, these guys are different, they are jumping around and often seeking to escape 😅 Also, it took much longer to tame them. They may be closer to wild 🤔

Mongolian Gerbil
- Meriones unguiculatus

Uri (melon) and Kuri (marron/chestnut) - both males. They just arrived home 🤩

They were restlessly searching around the new habitat - I couldn’t get them in the same picture 😉

The last gerbil pair lived more than 5 years - we hope they also have a long life together 😊

NEW: We’re partnering with #Lowell Humane Society on a fee-waived adoptathon for guinea pigs and rabbits! The event, which begins tomorrow and runs through Sunday, comes as space for housing the small guys is full up.

Says Assistant Director Bryn Rogers, “Between Lowell Humane and our adoption centers, we have more than 100 guinea pigs and 30 rabbits. Every cage in our shelters is full right now.” 1/
