Adopt a Small Rodent

If you are interested in adopting a gerbil, hamster, mouse or rat from us, please email us for an application form at stfrancisanimalwelfare@gmail.com.

Species: Gerbil

Age: Approx. 3.5 years

Sex: Male

About me: Rooky is an inquisitive and friendly boy who is growing in confidence in his foster home. He will happily approach his carer at the open tank door to see what’s going on. He is still working out how to take a proper sand bath and how to use his exercise wheel.

Ideal Home: Rooky would ideally be paired with another male gerbil of a similar age using the split-cage method, in a home with owners who are experienced and knowledgeable about gerbil bonding. However, given his age and the stress involved in the bonding process, we would also consider a home where Rooky lives on his own. In this case, his owners should provide plenty of enrichment, stimulation, and positive human interaction, if and when he chooses to engage with it. The minimum enclosure size is 100x40x40cm.

About me: Snowball is still learning how to be a gerbil and hasn’t quite worked out that he’s supposed to gnaw everything yet! He has mastered burrowing and is really enjoying his sand baths. He’s quite timid and isn’t keen on being handled at the moment, but he is a sweet boy. 

Ideal Home: Snowball is looking to join another male gerbil of similar age, via the split cage method. The minimum enclosure size for a pair of gerbils is 100x40x40cm.

About me: Machiato is a friendly boy who is growing in confidence while in a foster home.
