These two cuties are extremely entertaining, and have been enjoying \u201credecorating\u201d their tank by digging burrows and<br \/>\nsinking all of their hides, toys, cardboard tubes and boxes to the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike many other rodents, gerbils are diurnal and most active during the day. Since they have just recently come into foster care, they are still shy<br \/>\nabout being handled, and if they see you watching when they pop their heads up out of the bedding, they pop right back down. Over time, once<br \/>\nthey are accustomed to their new situation, they should become more handleable.<\/p>\n<p>They are currently in a 20 gallon tank with paper-based bedding, several hides, and lots of cardboard to chew. Because gerbils are<br \/>\nchewers and burrowers, a glass tank is preferable housing for them, rather than a cage or anything plastic. They would probably also enjoy a<br \/>\nsupervised play area such as a deep, clear bin with tunnels, toys and wheels to play in. Gerbils make great pets and can live up to 4 to 5 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nova<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/BrvVnPD\/Nova3.jpg\" alt=\"Nova3\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ginny<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/72GHbLT\/Ginny1.jpg\" alt=\"Ginny1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nova (left) &amp; Ginny (right)<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/5r4mYxS\/Nova-Ginny2.jpg\" alt=\"Nova-Ginny2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These girls came to us on 2\/10\/24 because their owner was moving and couldn&#8217;t take them along.
