I lost the first gerb from my current trio today - Bo was 3 years and 10 months old. I'm hopeful for Pip and Olly to make it to 4 years and beyond. When I had gerbils as a child we had a couple that passed quite young, but one stubborn albino who was around five when she eventually died. My impression is that above 2 years they've had a good life, at 3 years is about average, 4 years old makes them pretty elderly and 5 years is for the lucky few. x

Alvin and Simon are around 2 years 7 months old... that's an estimate, since they were around 9 weeks old when I got them in early April 2012. Their brother Theodore was about 1 year 9 months (by the same estimate) when he passed away last October.
I honestly have no idea how old Olaf is, but he hasn't grown much since I got him April 4th of this year, so I think he's over 6 months old by now. He was in the pet shop for at least a couple months before I took him home.

Snowball and Nugget are roughly a year and four months. Fonzi is about 10 months now and Chachi will be two months on the 8th!
