5 Interesting Facts About Gerbils!

Gerbils are naturally social animals and in the wild live in large family groups - keeping a lone gerbil as a pet can cause it significant stress and loneliness, which is why they're usually kept in pairs.
They originate from the deserts of Mongolia and China, where they've adapted to survive on very little water - they produce remarkably dry droppings and concentrated urine to conserve moisture.
Gerbils thump their back feet rapidly on the ground to communicate danger to other members of their group - it's their equivalent of shouting 'run!'
Unlike many small rodents, gerbils are active during the day as well as at night - they alternate between short bursts of activity and rest throughout the 24-hour cycle.
Gerbils have a remarkable ability to gnaw through almost anything - their teeth grow continuously throughout their lives and need constant wear, which is why they chew everything they can get their paws on.
