I think gerbils are GREAT pets. Anyone else agree? email this discussion to a friend?

I just can't get enough of them. They are super cute, make little "waste", friendly disposition, quiet, little to no odor, cost only a couple dollars a month to feed, and they have little health problems. I think they are perfect!

Yup I agree. Just that some people are put off by the long tails, commenting that they look like rats. But they are really gentle and clean. Morever they don't even bite.

I agree as well, better still they're trash consumers. Paper towel or toilet paper rolls or torn up cardboard or brown paper they'll turn into their own bedding! Saves you money too. I don't think they look anything like rats, the faces are totally different.

Oh yes that's true. I always give my gerbil the core of my toilet roll and he's off to entertaining himself. He's kinda clean too as he grooms himself rather often.

Sometimes my gerbils bite my fingers when they don´t like something, but it´s barely felt as it´s not strong, so I take it as a warning (sometimes it happens when I take then out the cage)

Clean? Yes, they are. And oh - they love so much to shred paper like there´s no tomorrow. Toilet paper core and cardboard are no more in minutes - I even joked once about not needing to buy a paper shedder.

I agree with you. I have had lots of gerbils when I was younger. My first two were Nod and Wink. One was grey and the other one was brown. They used to dig around in a large tank. They used to chew things like cardboard rolls. They were charming to watch.

Years later I got Salt and Pepper. One was black and white and the other was a siamease brown. They were also very playful. They had a house made from plastic and comiing home from work one day I saw Salt was missing! She had bitten her way out! I found my telephone wire had been cheeed in half. It took ages to find her. I was so pleased to get her back.

Yes, gerbils are perfect.

I think they're great pets! Much more friendly then hamsters. They're not really aggressive. (I've had quite a few gerbils through the years and I've never had one even try to bite me.) I think their such cute little guys, I love my gerbils.

Got 2 gerbils to take care last year, one died then got 2 more (all 3 are male, dont want they breeding).

Very clean, only noise I hear is their acute squeaking, almost no odor (much better than hamsters). They love to dust-wash (dont know how is it in English, they roll over carbonate dust to clean their fur).

They dont sleep all day and are cuuuute. The older (almost 2 years atm)is so tame he come to my hand and if I let he climbs to my shoulder and back to my hand.
