Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. If gerbils eat lettuce, which of these is most likely to occur?

Answer: Nothing

Nothing will happen if you feed your gerbil lettuce. It just fills them up and gives them no nutritional value, although too much could cause digestive issues.
2. What is the most common type of gerbil?

Answer: Mongolian gerbil

Mongolian gerbils are brown with black and white markings.
3. What should you put a gerbil's water in?

Answer: Water bottle

There is a large selection of water bottles at the local pet store. It should be really easy to find one. Water in open dishes will be spilt by the gerbils into their bedding hence the preference for a water bottle.
4. What kind of plant should you never let a gerbil eat?

Answer: One that has been sprayed with pesticide

Pesticides can kill many animals, including gerbils. You can feed your gerbil grasses if you wish.
5. What should you never put on the floor of the gerbil's cage?

Answer: Pebbles

Woodchips, sand, and vegetable parchment are good for the gerbil.
6. Always make sure your gerbil has something to chew on.

Answer: True

If your gerbil doesn't have something to chew on, its teeth can grow too long. Gnawing grinds their teeth to a reasonable size.
7. Which of these things is impossible to do with your gerbil:

Answer: rely on it not to escape

Some gerbils seem like they would never even try to escape. Even if they do seem like that, never rely on them not to escape.
8. Which statement is incorrect?

Answer: Some gerbils can go for weeks without water, after all, they are desert creatures

Even though they are desert creatures, gerbils always need water.
9. Gerbils are in the same genus as mice.

Answer: False

Although often mistaken for mice, gerbils are their own species.
10. When gerbils start digging, that means they are trying to escape from their cage.

Answer: False

False. Gerbils are natural tunnel-makers.
