The story of the color mouse
The history of the Mongolian gerbil
Diet and species-appropriate husbandry of the color mouse
Nutrition and species-appropriate husbandry of the gerbil
The pet food from the specialized trade should not be chosen, since it does not correspond to the animal need. The composition of gerbil food does not speak for a species-appropriate diet and is provided with too much grain, as well as colored or popped components. The enclosure should be the natural substitute for its home. Even if they get their occasional run, however, they spend a lot of time in this enclosure. For this reason, care should be taken to provide an appropriate size. An enclosure with a dimension of 120 x 60 x 80 cm is a minimum area, which should be respected. After all, the gerbils want to move, sleep, burrow and eat.
Health and diseases in color mice
A gerbil or a color mouse does not really show its illness due to its nature. It continues to eat and it tries to stay with the pack. This offers it further protection and one must eat to survive also. For this reason, diseases usually remain hidden from the owner for a very long time. Only when one notices weakness or a loss of weight, it is usually already too late to carry out a treatment. That is exactly why it is indispensable that every owner observes his color mice closely.
Gerbils health and diseases
Also a Mongolian gerbil does not show its illness. It continues to eat just like the color mouse and it tries to stay with the pack. Diseases are discovered thus only late. Only when you notice weakness or weight loss, it is usually already too late and the animal usually does not make it. That is why it is absolutely important that every owner keeps an eye on his Mongolian gerbil.
Color mouse behavior and interaction
Color mice have a distinctive hierarchy among themselves. This is also maintained with rituals. Color mice play with each other by jumping on each other or chasing each other. Then they usually also make sounds. Color mice are also very clean and spend a lot of time cleaning each other. So it is obligatory to keep more than one color mouse. Each pack marks the territory with feces and urine. Color mouse females are very peaceful among their conspecifics and it can happen that they even help each other in raising the young. The males usually have conflicts due to rank fights.
Behavior and interaction of Mongolian gerbils
The first rule is that Mongolian gerbils need at least one conspecific! Keeping a color mouse and gerbil together is also not recommended. It can come to biting. Because of the species specific similarity with mice or even degus, it is assumed that these animals can be kept together. This is an absolute fallacy and must not be practiced under any circumstances. The animals chase each other and bite each other to death. Even the encounters outside the enclosure in the run usually end bloody.
