Sleep and your gerbil

You share your home with a gerbil, but you haven’t quite gotten the chance to understand her sleeping habits just yet. What should you know about them?

Unlike their hamster cousins, gerbils don’t tend to sleep through the day. They instead opt for several naps throughout both the daytime and evening hours. This means that you are just as likely to find your gerbil awake as you are asleep when you seek her out. You may also find that your pet’s nap schedule works around the busy times in your home. This adjustment can help your pet be present for any action that takes place while also taking advantage of times of relative peace to relax. However, your pet isn’t likely to have any issues getting some rest of your home has a lot going on. For additional information, please contact your local Cy-Fair veterinarian.
