Gerbils
Gerbils, like all animals, need five things to be healthy and happy; these are called the five welfare needs.
Under the Animal Welfare Act (2006) all owners need to provide these five things for the pets they keep.
The sections below give information on how to meet the five welfare needs for gerbils.

Grace Parsons
Grace gave nothing but love and support to her family and friends. She had a full life with her husband Wilfred moving for a while to South Africa raising a family of four and later enjoying her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
She loved animals and enjoyed many pets from a cat Tommy Tucker to her Boxer dogs Sheba then later Henry - she would have loved that her memory will be helping to look after pets too.
Our memories are many and will be treasured always.
