Re: Gerbil Deaths?

Gerbils do die of old age – but it is the age that triggers something that does them in – very much like humans.   In the wild – gerbils do not live as long as in captivity – so they do not have to worry about health issues- because the predators weed out the weak ones before they can cause problems with the clans.       -----Original Message----- From: Gerbil Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jocelyn Kessinger Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 11:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Gerbil Deaths?   Hi List, I was just wondering...over this list  is seems like the majority of posts are about gerbils with health problems. I read about turmors, cysts, ear infections, respotory infections, etc... I would just like to know if gerbils ever die of just old age?
