Detects weather events. Fast tail wagging means lightning storm. Barking at the sky means Sandstorm. Digging at the ground means Heatwave. Sniffing sound means Rain.

It makes noises to warn of incoming weather events. From what I've noticed the series of chirps means a sandstorm is coming, the long growl is an electrical/lightning storm, and the short growl is the heatwave.

DO NOT believe that this reduces weight on its inventory. As of today AUG 2020 I tested stacks of meats and berries etc, IT DOESNT. But instead it increases spoil timer of foods, meats and berries on its inventory. ⬆️ to prevent ppl from false informations!

Despite past tips these little guys DO in fact reduce the weight of their inventory but it does not show in their weight stat, only when you pick them up. So say you are holding 100w worth of meat, and place it on your little fuzzy friend it may not show in their inventory as half (it will still show 100) but now when you pick them up you will notice your weight only goes up by 50, not the full 100 the meat weighed in your own inventory.

Basically, yes weight does half, but only when held! <3

If the two parents of a baby Jerboa do not have good food stats, the baby will die almost instantly after birth.

Do not let their cuteness fool you. Jerboas are an essential desert companion. They are able to detect storms up to 3 minutes in advance.

Guy saying that jerboas don't reduce weight in their inventory, that is correct, however, if you put things into a jerb's inventory, and put the jerb on your shoulder, you only get half of the weight

Reduces weight of items in its inventory when carried.

This little cinnamon roll is not optional

So these fluffy and cute creatuers are just smart. I was playing on my mobile game and I didn’t know if it was gonna rain or not so I checked my jerboa and according to her it was going to rain, so I waited a few minutes and it rained! Though they are more useful on scorched earth but still can predict weather on mobile. They. An also be useful for anxiety support☺️. Hope this helps!
