Gerbils are rodents<\/a><\/strong> that are part of the pet repertoire, although they are relatively recent and so you may not be familiar with them. Their appearance is fun and striking; they look like mice or rats, but with sweeter features, longer hind legs and their tails are covered with fur.<\/p>\n

\"\"Your personality<\/h2>\n

They are not the most grateful animals, but they seem to enjoy company and do not attack<\/strong> unless they feel threatened or you hurt them, which makes them a good choice for keeping rodents at home<\/strong>. On the other hand, gerbils do not hibernate in winter, nor are they hibernating in summer: they are generally quiet and do not make noise.<\/p>\n
