100+ Gerbil Names: Weensy & Wee Pet Names

PangoVet_Gerbil Names

Gerbils are among the smallest domesticated rodents, but despite their size, they make excellent pets. Even smaller than hamsters, gerbils have a petiteness that means handling them must be done with extra care. Caution must also be taken when it comes to their tail to prevent any serious injury.

These creatures live for social interaction, and adopting two or more will mimic their natural habitat and give them the chance to have a more genuine lifestyle. Gerbils are also relatively inexpensive once you have your initial setup and gear. 

Let’s find your new addition a name that suits their adoring personality. Whether you have an entire colony to name, a doting pair, or simply a single gerbil, there’s sure to be something here that all types of pet owners will fancy.
