Name: Felicity
Age: 2 years old
Sex: Female
Breed: Gerbil
Ref number: 22
Personality:
Here’s Felicity, a little shy but ever so pretty. She’s at her happiest when she gets to clear the way for new burrows in her tank, or when she’s given some cardboard enrichment to chew into!
Behaviour:
Felicity is diurnal, where she’ll be active during the day often working her way through a burrow, so plenty of substrate and bedding is very important. Her food will often be scatter fed, as this will encourage foraging behaviour. She is confident in her own space but can be a little nervous when it comes to human interaction, but is growing in confidence each day. With time she will begin to trust you and form a special bond. A dried mealworm is a good treat to make friends!
Housing:
Housing requirements is a large glass tank with suitable bedding where she can burrow. Sizes can be discussed and staff can provide recommendations of tanks, but minimum sizing is 100cm long x 50cm wide. Felicity could be bonded with a female or neutered male gerbils but this would need to be done slowly, the staff can advise on how to do this.
Children/pets:
Children would need to be of secondary school age (11+ years), and to be supervised when handling or interacting with Felicity. Can live around other pets, but to be kept separately.
Vet history:
Felicity currently has no health issues.
