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.
Two lovely, super-tame females from our friends at ABC Gerbils in Nashua NH, Sarai (front) and Naran are waiting for a loving home of their own, but we predict they will not wait long! Come and meet them soon!
Adorable Joshua (left) and Joel, also of ABC Gerbils, are super-friendly, tame gerbils, as cute as could be. You will delight in watching them run their wheel and busily build nests and snuggle up. Too cute for words, check them out soon!
Coming soon - pups, and lots of them! We've finally moved forward on several breeding projects delayed by our recent move. Seven babies were born between 2/21 and 3/2, and will be available in early April, some along with adults, others as singles (to go with a single gerbil you have) or pairs. Email us today to get on the waiting list.

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.
