Gerbil. They are not nocturnal, they smell better, and have tails. (I would recommend getting two)

Are hamsters more cuddly than gerbils?
I would say hamsters but personally I have an gerbil, and my hamster died about 4 years ago. I would say an hamster. But it depends about the gerbil/hamster so there is no fact its an opinion.
Who win in a fight a gerbil or hamster?
i think the hamsters size and speed would give it an advantage so I would say hamster.
Would a male or female mouse be best for a first mouse?
Hi my name is Melina and i am 9 years old. I think it would be best to start out with a female because if you have a female hamster of gerbil or something of the rodent family if you have a male and you put it in with your hamster or gerbil female the results may end in you hamster and/or gerbil may become pregnant.
What creature would you find at school?
Hamster , Guinea pig or Gerbil .
Can a hamster and a gerbile live in the same cage?
No, hamsters are solitary, and also omnivorous. A gerbil would run a great risk of being killed and eaten by the hamster.
What sign are you if your birthday is March ninth?
It would be Pisces.
Who will buy a gerbil?
well mostly people aged 12 or over under that age kids would mostly like a hamster.
Can hamsters and gerbil live int the same cage?
Gerbils should never be put together with Hampsters. They are from different environments and eat different foods. Dispite the fact that most foods are for 'both hampsters and gerbils' that is wrong. They have different nutritional requirements. Hampsters are VERY territorial and will end up with one of them dead or severely injured. Do not put a gerbil and a hampster in the same cage! No matter how docile the hampster and gerbil look. yup! they can get to be pretty good buddies too.The gerbil will love it and try to be friends, but the hamster will defend territory. The gerbil will most likely fight back and with the gerbil's long claws and teeth that never stop growing, I think the hamster will die. You guys all are stupid, Yes, Gerbils and Hamsters can live together if they're docile and nice to each other...I have a gerbil and a Russian dwarf hamster and they have NEVER once fought, and yes u can put them together...No! No, no, no! Anyone who has been able to do this has had extremely good luck -- and that's all it is. If it is a Syrian hamster, the gerbil will die. If a dwarf, the hamster will die.
What do you do if a OLD dwarf hamster starts squeaking like a gerbil?
I would take it to the vet if you are worried. It might be in pain from some sort of illness.
Should you have a hamster or a gerbil?
It depends what you are looking for. If you want something that is fun to watch and doesn't really like to be held much then a gerbil might be a better option. If you want something that you can hold and play with for long periods of time but doesn't do much all day then you might want a hamster. I have three gerbils. So if you have any more questions please ask me on my message board. Yea the guy before wrote this and I have two gerbils and I had one hamster, the one hamster I had was mean as ever and it would bite me the second I tried to catch it and my two gerbils NEVER bite me (it says in almost all pet books that Gerbils RARELY bite) and to me gerbils seem much more intelligent than a hamster, I mean my last hamster would lay on its back at times and soil itself when my gerbils are very clean and there always cleaning themselves, so personally I'd go with the gerbil because the gerbil's seem as smart as my golden retriever dog as the hamster... well not so much
Would a gerbil eat another gerbil's pups?
Yes they will
If my hamster died what should I get another hamster or get a gerbil...which would be better for a twelve year old?
I think you should try apet that would live longer like a bird or you cold get a kitten or puppy. Definitely something that would live at least 10 years. Have fun :-)I don't think you should get a different animal, just get another one, I'm 12 and I
