This free printable gerbil coloring page shows a cute pet gerbil sitting up on its back legs to nibble a sunflower seed, next to tall sunflowers, a cardboard play tube and a little pile of seeds. The long tufted tail and big sunflower petals are fun and easy to color. Like all our printables, it is completely free for home and classroom use.
Fun fact to share while coloring: gerbils come from the deserts of Mongolia, love to dig deep tunnels, and are happiest living in pairs or small groups.
Printing Tips
- The file is a print-ready 2550×3300 px (8.5×11 in at 300 DPI) page. Choose US Letter, or A4 with “Fit to page” turned on.
- Print in black and white or grayscale to save ink. The bold outlines stay crisp on any home printer.
- Use thicker paper (cardstock, 65 lb or 160 gsm) for markers or paint so colors don’t bleed through.
- Want a smaller sheet for little hands? Print at 50% to fit two pages on one sheet.
- Free for personal, family and classroom use. Please don’t resell or re-upload the file.
Coloring Ideas
Most pet gerbils are golden “agouti” brown with a pale belly, but you can also try grey, black or cream. Bright yellow petals and a brown center make the sunflowers pop. Crayons work best for younger kids, while colored pencils and fine-tip markers are great for the small details.
