How much does Gerbil bedding cost?

Gerbils should not be sold at less than six weeks of age. Beware of anyone selling you one younger, as the gerbil will most likely not be easy to tame. A six-week-old gerbil pup can go for $3 up to $12, depending on who you go to. Large retail pet stores typically sell theirs for $10+, while breeders go for about $5-$10.

If you mean raising them, it isn't the gerbil pups that will be your expense, at least for three weeks. Momma gerbil, however, will be needing extra food and water, and the cage will need cleaned more often with 6+ gerbils running around in it. Gerbil pups will start eating food around 3 weeks of age, and then the food bowl will really need refilled! Major expenses will come around 6-8 weeks (whenever you decide to separate them) as you will need separate cages for female and male pups, and separate supplies such as water bottles and exercise wheels. However, raising lil gerbil pups is generally a sweet and rewarding experience, if you know what you are doing.
