Well, I've found finally the answer that I was searching for so long! Nobody could tell me the lifespan of duprasi gerbils! Now I've found it:
Lifespan/Longevity
Captive specimens of the fat-tailed gerbil have a life span between 5 and 7 years. It is likely that wild individuals so not live so long. The age of P. duprasi may be determined by how worn the molars are and the closing of the skull sutures. (Barker, 2003; Helmy and Osborn, 1980)
