GerbilGoods was created and is maintained by a gerbil owner for gerbil owners! An illustrator and designer who felt there just wasn't enough gerbil-themed products out there. Some words from the artist:
I have had 8 gerbils (4 pairs at different times) over the years. And loved every one of them. I have had a lot of different pets including a cat, dog, guinea pig, rabbit, fish and even a pigeon! But once I discovered gerbils there was no going back.
I personally feel that they make the most wonderful pets. They're so active and fun to watch whilst also retaining some interesting wild instincts that make them fascinating, powerful and resourceful individuals. With limitless curiosity they can make a toy out of anything, even a seemingly mundane cardboard tube becomes the most amazing toy in the world to them! Therefore they're very cost effective, except I spoil mine and they have far too many toys! Admittedly their toy stash was built up after 4 pairs of gerbils, so the current pair are pretty lucky to have all those hand-me downs.
Gerbils make great subjects for creating designs from as they have so many fun quirks and of course they're very cute! Overall I hope that creating GerbilGoods provides entertainment to fellow owners of gerbils or anyone who enjoys cute animals or fun artwork in general.
A lot of people unfortunately don't know what a gerbil is or mistake them for other more well-known pet rodents such as hamsters or mice. I hope that GerbilGoods raises awareness about gerbils because they really are amazing animals. The gerbil revolution is here!
Here are GerbilGoods current gerbils, these photos were taken when we first got them, they are quite a bit older now and we intend to put up more current photos!
An adorable white/grey gerbil (possibly a CP Agouti). He is much more laid back than his brother and likes to sit up top more often. He will sometimes take food from you, quickly run off to stash it and then immediately come back asking for more. Managed to cleverly take apart and destroy a willow ball in less than 10 minutes!
A cute and active brown agouti who loves to dig about underground. It doesn't take him long to create giant caverns in his tank after being given fresh substrate. He was quite thin when first bought, that soon changed after some egg biscuits to fatten him up a little!
