Katydid Gerbil Gerbil Saint Paul, MN

Our adoption process can be found on our website here: www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/process

Estimated birth date: 4/1/22

Personality: Friendly toward humans, Friendly toward other animals, Playful, Energetic, Nervous, Sweet

Favorite treats: They have eaten all the treats offered but timothy hay is a HUGE hit. Mixed seeds are also a favorite.

Current Diet: Oxbow Essentials Hamster & Gerbil Food

Favorite toys and activities: They all love to run on their wheel. They would benefit from a larger habitat that could accommodate at least 2 wheels if possible. They love to rearrange their home, move boxes, and fluff around. They chew A LOT (like most gerbils) and love getting new things to chew and play with every day. They are very smart and also enjoy chewable puzzle toys. They enjoy running in their exercise pen (made of coroplast.)

Potty trained: Haven't tried

This animal’s daily routine: Very Flexible.

BFF (Does this animal have or need a friend of the same species in their home?): Katydid, Ladybug, & Jackal are a bonded trio and must be adopted together.

Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: They have never interacted with other species while outside of their habitat, but they have been in the same room as dogs, cats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, and rabbits. Usually, they don't notice or care but if an animal is too interested in their habitat, sometimes I hear them thump.

Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction? Not while in foster care. We believe they would be just fine with older, respectful children (8+).

Health concerns: No

Behavioral concerns: These girls have previously been in our trust training program to get them used to being picked up and held. They are extremely friendly and have never been aggressive.

Other notes: Katydid, Ladybug, and Jackal are very happy, friendly girls. They love attention and new activities/puzzles/toys. I think they may be good candidates for some trick training, especially Katydid. Although they have the occasional sisterly squabble over a treat, they love each other very much and sleep in an adorable pile in their little house!

Jackal, Katydid, & Ladybug came to MNPPR when their owner was no longer to care for a large number of gerbils.

Due to our rescue being foster based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. Their foster parent prefers to meet at Maplewood Petsmart - 2370 White Bear Ave N, Maplewood, MN 55109 for meet & greets, & adoptions.

Fee: Jackal, Katydid, & Ladybug have a combined adoption fee of $28
