Chapter Twenty Gerbils

ALAT Presentations Study Tips If viewing this in PowerPoint, use the icon to run the show (bottom left of screen). Mac users go to “Slide Show > View Show” in menu bar Click on the Audio icon: when it appears on the left of the slide to hear the narration. From “File > Print” in the menu bar, choose “notes pages”, “slides 3 per page” or “outline view” for taking notes as you listen and watch the presentation. Start your own notebook with a 3 ring binder, for later study!

Gerbils Known for its handling, temperament, environmental changes & low occurrence of natural diseases. Gerbils = “jird” or “desert rat” Native to Mongolia & northeastern China. Used to study stroke & epilepsy.

Handling & Restraint Gently grasp base of tail & lift from cage. Do not pick up by tip of the tail! Skin may tear off & expose vertebrae. Cup both hands under & gently lift from cage. Restraint is similar to restraint used for a mouse. Grasp loose skin at back of neck w/ thumb & index finger of other hand. With back of gerbil in palm of your hand, grasp tail with little finger.

Physiological Data Body temperature: 96.3°- 102.7°F Heart rate: 260 - 600 / min Respiratory rate: 70 -120 / min Weight: adult 70 - 90 gm; newborn 3 gm Water consumption: 3 - 6 ml / day or 4 - 7 ml / 100 gm body weight daily Food consumption: 47 gm / day or 5 - 8 gm per 100 gm body weight daily Feces/Urine: similar to mouse Life span: 2 - 4 years

Sexing & Breeding Form monogamous pairs Attempts to separate pairs to mate with another animal are unsuccessful & can result in fighting & death. Establish breeding pairs before reach maturity. ID sex by anogenital distance, longer in male. Have a postpartum estrus. Sexual maturity: 70 - 84 days Estrous cycle: polyestrus (every 4 - 6 days) Gestation: 24 - 26 days Litter size: 4 - 5 Weaning: 21 days

Behavior Clean, docile and curious Desert animal & adapted to efficient use of water. Little odor compared to other rodents. “Cyclic activity” or intermittent periods of high-level activity followed by periods of rest or sleep. Male and female have ventral marking gland. Foot stomping is a commonly heard sound. integral part of the sex ritual also a means of communicating danger Approximately 20% have epileptic seizures. usually result of handling, loud noises or excitement appear to freeze, twitch or kick

Husbandry Diet Housed in shoebox cages w/ contact bedding. Single & group housing systems both used. Also housed in suspended wire-bottom cages. Shoebox cages should be changed 1x/ wk. Shelving & cage racks should be sanitized at least 1x/ 2 wks, & pans cleaned at least 2x/ wk. Diet Fed same rodent diet suitable for rats & mice. Drink very little water, but always provide.
