So what do you do with the older gerbil? Leave him/her lonely for the last
few months of life? Wouldn't it be better to introduce a new mate, planning
a new pairing 6 or so months down the line when widow passes on? (If it's
feasable for owner/gerbil colony of course)
This would seem to be more humane and compassionate.
