Yes, gerbils are wonderful! Hamsters may be the more popular pet, but why? They are nocturnal and get grumpy when awoken, which leads to excessive biting. Gerbils are diurnal, and take naps throughout the day, but are awake when your children are. Gerbils also bite far less than hamsters. And, best for the parents, gerbils are desert animals and therefore produce less waste, causing their cage to take longer to smell bad! If you purchase your gerbil from a breeder, they will most likely be more tame and healthier than those you can buy at a pet store. A responsible breeder will have spent more time with the pups, working to make them hand-tame and making sure they have all they need to be healthy. Check with the American Gerbil Society to find a breeder in your area.
