Which is better Hamsters, gerbils, or chinchillas2007-11-24 22:19:40

Of course more than half the people on here are going to say "get a hamster" because they have never had or even heard of a gerbil before. Two years ago, I had never heard of gerbil either. Here is my story. I went to the pet store to get specifically a hamster, I was almost broke, because I had spent like all my money on the cage, and supplies. I had like 7 bucks, and was hoping the hamsters were fairly cheap. When I got there, I realized that all the hamsters were $10, and above(just my luck). I was so dissapointed. Then the store clerk let me know that they had gerbils on sale for $5. I didn't know what it was, she showed me them, and they were all awake playing together. I thought they were super cute, and decided I wanted one! I picked one out, and brought him home. I'm so glad that I did'nt have enough money for a hamster that day, because Happy(my gerbil) is the best pet I ever had. I found out that gerbils like to live in pairs, or more, so I got him a male gerbil friend. Its now been two years with him and Autumn(my second gerbil)! I really hope you get to experience the joy of owning a pet gerbil, they are the best rodents to have, in my opinion!=)

Good luck with your decision! This site will help you learn more about them- http://www.abcgerbils.com/

I have a hamster. I like Hamsters. They don`t cost that much as how much for an animal, but the supplies may cost a lot~ It all depends.
