Elsa is a female gerbil, about two years old.  She is a single due to falling out of bond with her sister, and we don't recommend trying to bond gerbils as adults.  Luckily, as long as a gerbil has plenty of space, enrichment, and things to burrow and build, they can do fine without conspecifics.
  She is quite well socialized and will often come out when she hears us near her enclosure, to see if we have snacks.  She is wiggly to hold but enjoys booping and petting.
