They vary, most gerbils grow to 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) long [not including the tail; up to 12 inches including the tail]. Great Gerbils, the largest gerbils, grow up to 8 inches (20 cm) long [not including tail; up to 16 inches including the tail].

Are gerbils aggressive?

Gerbils are NOT agressive! I have two gerbils of my own and they are the friendliest animals I have ever met. Also I heard that gerbils are the friendliest rodent and they do make a great first pet. The only time gerbils will bite is if you dont handle him/her enough, or if you are doing something that they dont like. For example, if you hold them for too long and he/her is trying to get out of your hand like crazy and you wont let the gerbil out it may bite. But out of everything gerbils are NOT agressive!Not at all as long as you are gentle. I have 7 adults and 6 babies at the moment and none are aggressive with me.
