Does it hurt if you get bit by a gerbil?

Answer 1

It depends on how hard the bite, I've been bitten by my gerbil multiple times, and one time I bled, but it never hurt. You can always train them not to bite, or wear gloves when handling it. Online, you can find videos where people show you how to train your gerbil not to bite. Gerbils are small creatures, so their bites typically do not hurt badly, but can be painful if the bite is deep enough (which it squally isn't, it usually is just a nibble)

Answer 2

Well, yes. But if you're worried about being bitten by a gerbil then you don't have to be. Gerbils only bite if you annoy them or are showing signs of being very aggressive. Most of the time they are relaxed, especially when they are used to you having you hand around them. If you pick them up by their tail or are rough when you do so, they may become angry and bite. If you want to pick them up I would suggest teaching them to walk onto your hand (with food). If they do nibble you, it may be because your hands smell of food. But if they 'nibble' it's not really them biting you, it's more like you can just feel their teeth.

So all in all, be nice to them and they won't bite you.
