The Gerbil Info Journey – from a simple passion to a trusted resource for rodent lovers.
It all started with two gerbils and a lot of questions. The platform's creator, a rodent enthusiast, found that quality information in Romanian was fragmented and hard to find.
The decision was clear: to create a space where beginners and advanced owners could find clear answers, based on experience, not on product promotion.
The first complete guide on habitat was published. The feedback from readers confirmed the need for such a resource.
We began structuring content by levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) and added the first articles on behavior and health. The community of loyal readers grew organically.
Today, Gerbil Info is a recognized platform, with hundreds of verified articles and a non-commercial approach. We pride ourselves on providing only information, not paid recommendations.
Our mission remains the same: to educate and support gerbil and other rodent owners, for a healthier and happier life for these wonderful animals.
The journey continues. Discover all our resources in the About Us section.
Follow our journey, from a simple idea to a comprehensive resource for gerbil lovers.
Observing the lack of a centralized guide in Romanian for gerbil care, the idea to create Gerbil Info was born.
The first article published on the site: "Gerbil Care Basics". Started structuring content by difficulty levels.
Reached the milestone of 1000 unique visitors per month. Community feedback helped expand the section on behavior and socialization.
Gerbil Info is now a stable platform with dozens of articles, covering all aspects – from beginner to advanced. We are dedicated to maintaining educational, neutral, and trustworthy content.
Answers to the most common questions about gerbil care and behavior.
For a pair of gerbils, the recommended minimum is a cage of 40x30x30 cm (LxWxH). Gerbils are active animals and dig, so a larger space with a thick layer of substrate (minimum 15-20 cm) is ideal for their health and happiness.
The basis of the diet is a quality commercial mix for small rodents, supplemented with fresh hay. You can also offer small amounts of fresh vegetables (carrot, broccoli) and occasionally dried fruits. Avoid seeds with excess fat and sweet foods.
Gerbils are social animals, but fights can occur, especially if they are introduced improperly or the space is too small. Short squabbles are normal for establishing hierarchy. Separation is only necessary if there are injuries or persistent aggressive chasing.
Digging is a natural and essential behavior for gerbils. In the wild, they build complex burrow systems. Provide them with a generous layer of substrate (e.g., dust-free hay) and nesting materials to satisfy this instinct.
Be patient. Start by sitting near the cage and speaking in a soft voice. Offer treats from your palm without forcing contact. Once they get used to it, you can try short play sessions in a safe, supervised space. Learn more in our section about behavior.
