Where is the best place to buy a gerbil and supplies?

Question

I have a couple of small pet shops around me, but would they have good quality gerbils? I also have PetPlus, PetSmart, and PetCo. (Isn't it funny that they all have 'Pet' in the front of them)

Answer 1

go to petsmart for the supplies, but go to a local run petstore or shelter for the hammy.

Answer 2

Any pet store will supply all the Gerbil accesories you will need. The best place to but a Gerbil is a breeder who will know their background history (most Pet stores don't know the history of the Gerbils they're selling, some have been inbred).

What would be even better is going to your local Animal Sanctuary and adopting a pair. So many Gerbils are left homeless and given to the sanctuary because their owners can't look after them or have had an unplanned litter. Go have a look there and I'm sure you will find a pair that will best suit you.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

The best place to buy any animal is at a respectable private breeder. They are the most likely to have healthy friendly gerbils. Another good place to get animals is to adopt them from rescues and save lives. The worst place you can buy pets from are pet stores or backyard breeders. Those places usually don't have animals who have been handled properly, and there is a high chance they could be sick.

When it comes to supplies, you can buy them at just about any pet store. If you want to save some money, you could check your local online classifieds (like Craigslist.com or Kijiji.com) for used supplies.
