I have owned Mongolian gerbils since 2007, and began my breeding project in 2021. Pet prospects not yet available. About the Project:
Southpaw Mongolian Gerbil Project is a very small privately-owned and operated hobby Mongolian gerbil breeding project located in southeast Missouri. I have owned and raised Mongolian gerbils since 2007, and began my breeding project in 2021. Pet prospects are not
yet available, as I am still working to establish my breeding project. All gerbils are maintained ethically, utilizing 20+ gallon aquarium tank setups with several inches of various bedding material for digging and burrowing, and multi-level structures to allow for vertical climbing and exploration. All gerbils are fed a carefully formulated, nutrient-rich, and appropriate gerbil diet. All gerbils have access to multiple enrichment items and toys, including items to gnaw on to keep their incisors at an appropriate length. Gerbils are handled daily and exposed to various household sounds and sights, resulting in well-rounded pets. Pethood is the prioritized goal of this breeding project. About the Owner:

Prior to this book, there has been very little resource material in Japanese for those interested in falconry and raptors.
