Not much difference! Boys move a little slower than girls when they're adults and will take a new partner more easily. Girls stay active and quick.
Are pups easier to tame?
Yes and no. If adults haven't been handled much, they might not be as tame as pups. But pups are delicate and quick, so older gerbils can be better for new owners or young children. And like humans, pups' personalities can change.
If I adopt an older-younger pair, won't I have problems when one passes away?
Gerbils are social animals and need friends, so no matter which two gerbils you adopt, you will have to face re-partnering eventually. Older males are especially easy to introduce. Older females 2+ years old can't have babies, so we usually put an older female with a male.
Can I donate to help with rescue?
Donations are gratefully accepted. The money donated at adoptions covers only about one half of our costs each year.
Safina (right) and Duffy are two sweet, active gerbils. Safina is 2 and a quarter, and Duffy is 1 and a half. They've found love with each other after a lifetime of searching for the perfect friend.
Lavinia (left) and Kaysee are two of the fuzziest little pups you'll ever meet. They're only 8 weeks old, so they're still in that adorable baby stage. They are friendly and playful, and love running on their wheel together before they collapse into a sleepy heap. Come and meet these lovely girls! You won't regret it.
Sidney(left) and Sanjay are gorgeously rich colored nutmeg gerbils, one light and one dark. Energetic and curious brothers, they would make a great pair for home or classroom. Delightful to watch or play with, they are hoping for an active family where they can be front-and-center.

Scarab and Laryssa are beautiful, active Dilute Agoutis, a rare color that is very new to the United States, and only six weeks old- still wonderful pups! Crystal will jump right out of the tank to see you! She's one of the friendliest gerbils SRG has ever seen. All three of these lovely ladies are just aching to meet you, so come see them today!
Congratulations to SRG's own Svetlana, who won Best of Opposite Sex at the Maryland show on the 28th! She took the judges by storm, making history as the first blue gerbil to place in the winners circle, not to mention her being a female! With 6 points under her belt and the May show coming up on the horizon, she is 3/4 of her way to her championship and is marching ahead with determination. You go, Svetlana!
Our gerbils are
all healthy, friendly, hand-tame, and adorable. Recommended donation $20 per pair. We provide lifetime support and a "welcome back" policy. If one of your gerbils dies, we will help introduce the survivor to a new friend.
