Don't pick him/her up by the tail. You have to teach them to accept you picking them up. There are loads of tutorials online. Don scare them or chase them around their cage. Give them lots of things to chew and some (not too many!) treats. It takes a long time to do it so be patient and do whatever is best for you and your gerbil.

How do you tame your Gerbil?

My gerbil is prone to biting but I found out on the Internet that if your gerbil bites you don't drop it or do anything to it because it needs to learn that you are not there to hurt it but to care for it and love it. So you will need to hold your gerbil every day for at least ten minutes and it will start to gain your trust and become your best friend.
