Answer 4

The lifespan for a healthy, well-bred, and well taken care of gerbil [providing that it is living with one or more companions of the same gender, and hasn't been bred] is actually more than most people think, 4-5 years on average.

My previous pair lived to 5.5 and 6 years, and had a healthy, happy life. Although there was a significant decline in the physical and emotional health of the second gerbil after his brother passed away. Never keep gerbils without a companion! A very long time ago, I had a gerbil who was required to be separated from his siblings, and never had a cagemate after that. He lived 2yrs.
