Which one to pick
Animal designs split between the accurate and the cartoon. The 2 here differ mostly on that axis, so pick the register that suits the person rather than the species.
Keepers of unusual animals tend to want anatomical accuracy; someone who simply likes the animal usually prefers the cartoon version.
Who it is for
This suits the person whose interest in gerbil has gone past casual — the one who corrects documentaries. For a general animal lover, a broader design is a safer gift.
Not hamsters, and they need company
Gerbils are social and should be kept in pairs or groups, which is the opposite of the hamster advice everyone assumes applies.
They dig. A proper gerbil setup is deep bedding for tunnelling, not a plastic cage with a wheel.
The tail has a tuft and comes off if grabbed, which is the single most important thing owners tell visiting children.
Sizing and ordering
- Unisex tees run true to size — size up one for a relaxed fit.
- Allow two to three weeks. Each shirt is printed after you order, so production time comes before shipping time.
- Checkout happens on the print partner's site — Senprints handles printing, payment and delivery.
If it is not quite the right animal
The wording only works when it names the exact animal, so it is worth checking before you buy. Giraffe, Groundhog and Guinea Pig each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
