What is the National Gerbil Society?

The National Gerbil Society (previously known as The National Mongolian Gerbil Society) is a British society for the promotion of Gerbils and Jirds as pets, and exhibition animals. Overseas members are invited. It was founded in 1970. All members receive;

A quarterly journal, sent by post containing the latest gerbil news, show reports, articles, member's letters and information on gerbil care. If you have Java you can view a sample by clicking here (about 500Kb).
A Yearbook giving the rules, show regulations and breed standards.

Members can exhibit at one of our shows held in various parts of Great Britain. At our shows exhibitors compete for trophies and rosettes. Most importantly our shows are fun and give our members an opportunity to meet others who keep and breed gerbils.
