What happens when you kill a Gila monster?
One of the main reasons gerbils have long tails is to give predators something to grab on to. If a hawk or fox caught a gerbil by the tail, the tail could break off and the gerbil could escape. Tail breakage is the number one medical concern for gerbils. It happens all the time because their bodies are MADE that way. If the tail starts to die even more, or it smells bad and has green pus, or the gerbil acts weird, you need to take him to the vet. Most gerbils recover from this with no problems. Your biggest worry would be infections. I saw this on yahoo answers.

Can you hold a gerbil by its tail?
I do not think that you can walk a gerbil. you would need a whole body harness small enough for a gerbil, and even then they will chew through it or slip out of it. Gerbil are masters of escape. not to mention that if you were to walk a gerbil, they would get all dirty and get fleas, and if you saw them walk out of your sight into a bush while on the walk, they may get squished by something. Honestly, what I am trying to say in a whole round-about way, It is not a good idea to walk gerbils. I really cannot think of any Pros to walking a gerbil, only cons. now, if you have a whole play pin set up for them in a room where no other animals are, and make sure that they cannot get out of it, then you can put them in that and let them run around your room.
