Is a gerbil able to survive 10 foot fall?

Gerbils are small rodents that are native to the deserts of Africa and Asia. They are known for their ability to jump and climb, but they are not typically known for their ability to survive falls.

The average gerbil weighs about 2 ounces and is about 4 inches long. Their small size and light weight mean that they do not have a lot of momentum when they fall. This makes it more likely that they will be injured or killed by a fall.

The height of the fall is also a factor in whether or not a gerbil will survive. A fall from a greater height is more likely to cause serious injuries or death.

Even if a gerbil does survive a fall, it may still suffer from injuries such as broken bones, internal bleeding, or head trauma. These injuries can lead to long-term health problems or even death.

For these reasons, it is important to keep gerbils away from high places where they could fall. If a gerbil does fall, it is important to take it to a veterinarian as soon as possible.
