I suggest you let it settle in before you start holding it a lot
because it may not be used to playing with a person rather
then another gerbil. When I got my gerbils, I held them both
a little each day because they still need love and comfort but
they don't want to be squeezed to death. You can also give them
a more special treat like fruit or veggies instead of their boring
food mix, but don't give it to often or they might get sick. The
thing they love the most is a huge area to play in. If you have
and toys that you can make a home or maze for them, they enjoy
it a lot. They love excercise. My Gerbils like to run in balls. They
also like it when I put them on my kitchen chairs. I separate them
from a distance (less than half a foot) and put a long Paper Towel
roll to connect the chairs. But don't worry. They usually
settle in anyway after 2 to 3 days. :)
