Gerbil Age Chart

The chart is based on the the average lifespan of a gerbil is 4 years, and the average lifespan of a human is 79 years. Therefore, one gerbil year is equivalent to 19.75 human years. This means that a gerbil that is 1 year old is roughly the same age as a human that is 19.75 years old, and so on.

The chart also shows the different life stages of gerbils, which are similar to those of humans, but much shorter. A gerbil that is 1 year old is in the baby or juvenile stage, which means that they are still growing and developing.

A gerbil that is 2 years old is in the adolescent stage, which means that they are sexually mature and ready to breed. A gerbil that is 3 years old is in the adult stage, which means that they are fully grown and stable. A gerbil that is 4 years old is in the senior stage, which means that they are old and may show signs of aging, such as graying fur, weight loss, or decreased activity.

How Gerbil Ages?

Here’s a breakdown of how to identify the different life stages and ages of gerbils:

• Newborn: 0-14 days old. Pink, furless, closed eyes/ears. Relies completely on mother.
• Infant: 14-30 days old. Fur growing in, eyes/ears opening. Begins to explore, eat solid food. Still nurses.
• Juvenile: 1-3 months old. Resembling small adults. Weaned from mother, fully furred. Very active and playful.
• Young Adult: 3-12 months old. Sexual maturity reached. Less hyper, calmer temperament emerges.
• Adult: 1-2 years old. Reached full size and weight. Personalities developed. Still vigorous and lively.
• Middle Age: 2-3 years old. Metabolism begins slowing. May gain weight more easily. Mellow energy levels.
• Senior: 3+ years old. Noticeable aging signs – slowed movement, poor fur quality, cloudy eyes. Gradual health decline.
• Geriatric: 4+ years old (rare). Severe effects of aging. Significant health issues, quality of life reduced. Approaching end of natural lifespan.

With average 2-5 year gerbil lifespan, the first year covers rapid growth from newborn to adult. After sexual maturity in the second year, aging signs gradually appear and progress yearly. 4+ years is considered very elderly.
