Any cage material that is plastic should be removed. If the cage is plastic, try your best to get a tank for the little ones. If you can't manage that, try to distract them with dyeless toilet roles and other clean paper products. Gerbils shouldn't have plastic in their environment because it can harm their insides. Good luck with your great rodents!

You want to find a curious gerbil that, while it may run away from movement, will still stick its head out and sniff at you.

You want your gerbil to be active during most of the day (gerbils are not nocturnal, they are diurnal, which means they basically take naps and don't prefer day or night sleep), and the gerbil should be sleek and slim, but not skinny. Make sure to look for bright, shiny eyes, too.
