Gerbils are, generally, around 2-4 ounces in weight. Their body is about 4 inches, and their tail is about the same length.

Answer 6

Hi,

I am a gerbil breeder, and have been for several years.  A gerbil gets to be 3-5 inches, not including the tail.  The tail will be about the same length as the body though.  Have fun with your new pets!
