All gerbils that we take in go through a quarantine period so we can check for illness and temperament. Some come to us pregnant or with young litters. We raise those litters and adopt them out when they are ready. Any gerbil that we do not feel is suitable for adoption is kept here at Little Whiskers so we can give it the care it needs.

All gerbils require a $5.00 adoption fee per gerbil. Discounts will be given on a case by case basis for people willing to take larger groups, or other special circumstances. If you would like additional information on any of the gerbils you see here, please feel free to contact us!


Gerbils adopted from our rescue should NOT be used to breed. Most all of them come from unkown backgrounds and chances are good they are either already over bred or highly inbred. While we only adopt out animals that are physically fine for pets, some of the gerbils are carrying genetic defects that would be passed on to their offspring. Our goal is to let these animals have a second chance at a home where they will be taken care of- not used to breed.


We also currently have a few pairs available. They will only be adopted out in the pairs listed.

This pair is mom and daughter. The mom- who was named "Chewey" by her previous owner- was attacked by a cat and so she is missing part of her tail. Her daughter was born and raised here at Little Whiskers.



This pair is approximately 4 months old. The tan girl has a fixed wrist which is a birth defect, but she manages just fine! You will just notice that she holds one of her front paws a little funny and can't spread her little fingers out. Both of these girls are very friendly!



Occasionally we have animals other than gerbils in our rescue. Right now we have a couple hamsters and some mice.

This is a group of 4 female mice. They came in together and they must be adopted out together as mice are very social animals also. We are working with them, but currently they are not hand tame yet.


We also have a female dwarf hamster. She was brought in with another female but they had to be separated to due to fighting. We are also working with her but she is not hand tame yet either.
