When do girbils die?

Gerbils typically have a lifespan of about 2 to 4 years in captivity, although some may live longer with proper care. Factors influencing their lifespan include genetics, diet, environment, and overall health. Signs of aging or illness can include changes in activity levels, weight loss, or lethargy. It's important to provide a suitable habitat and regular veterinary care to help prolong their lives.
