Shooting Star

Shooting Star, gerbils, Gainesville, Florida, north central Florida near Jacksonville. It has exhibited with the American Gerbil Society for several years and follows its health testing protocols to ensure sound genetics.

Its gerbils live in spacious glass habitats with organic bedding sourced for comfort and nesting, and social groups are carefully balanced. Daily enrichment routines include specially designed obstacle courses and safe chew items to encourage natural foraging behavior. A handful of its gerbils have received recognition at regional fairs for temperament and coat condition, reflecting the steady care given at the home-based facility. Litters are kept intentionally small so each pup’s growth and social skills can be closely observed and encouraged. Prospective owners receive guidance on gerbil care to support a smooth transition. Habitat arrangements are updated regularly based on recent gerbil welfare research to promote active, healthy lifestyles year-round.
