Gerbils don't mind the occasional petting but can bite when they don't want to be held or are frightened. Loud name calling can be confusing or frighting (low name calling in a high pitch voice as well as clicking of the mouth is better). Often gerbils will escape approaching hands when in the cage so just let your hand dangle in the cage so they can smell you and then grab them gently. In some cases the gerbil will bite or nip (its because you hand may smell like food) always handle with washed hands WITHOUT SOAP.
