This animal is not suitable as a pet. The living requirements is very different from a mongolian gerbil and fat tailed gerbil.
They need space, not just a 2ft tank..... 4ft tank or more. So can someone cope with such a big tank? Also, they are not handle friendly as they will jump as soon as you try to pick them up.

The correct spelling is Jerboa.... some people call them kangaroo rats coz of their long back legs.
Anyway, they are not suitable as pets, that is why we rarely see them in petshops. Also, they are most likely wild caught animals since Jerboas are not easy to breed.

They are sleeping coz they have nothing to do. Summore taken from the wild.... being locked up with nothing to do, they sleep loh.
Their diet is similar to gerbils, but they drink very little water as they much prefer to take grass and leafy veggies.

No wheels, they can't play with any normal hamster toy. They will chew plastic. All they can do is jump and dig. That is why they need BIG tanks to be happy. Also they love tunneling and hiding around rocks and branches.

Coz they don't make good pets and are very hard to breed. That is why lah..... It is better that way anyway. It is best not to have them as pets.

white teeth? As I know, if an adult rodent has white teeth, it means the teeth is weak. All rodents should have yellowish teeth.
