Six Little Gerbils all in a Row

The Children's Department

at Twinsburg Public Library

has several popular pets...six playful gerbils!

Gerbils are rodents. The word 'rodent' is derived from the latin word 'rodere' which means 'to gnaw'. Rodents have very large incisor teeth, which requires them to gnaw on things to keep their teeth from getting too long.

Gerbils are very social, which is why we have six gerbils in our library family. They like to play together.
