What animal bites more hamsters or gerbils?
Gerbils tend to bite less in the first place, and if you get them from a respectable breeder and not from a pet store, the gerbil will probably already be hand-tamed and have no reason to bite except if it is threatened. Hamsters are nocturnal, and are not to keen on being woken up, and are therefore more prone to biting. As for hurting less, gerbils only nip unless they mean it and rarely draw blood, while hamsters tend to be biting to bite.
Do hamsters bite more than gerbils?
I would say that both could bite, and both have sharp teeth, but, often, hamsters can get scared more easily than gerbils, and gerbils are social animals, so they usually like to be handled a lot, while hamsters would hide in their nest/burrow all day and want to be alone (they are solitary). I believe more likely hamsters would bite.

Are gerbils good with kids?
Yes, gerbils are wonderful! Hamsters may be the more popular pet, but why? They are nocturnal and get grumpy when awoken, which leads to excessive biting. Gerbils are diurnal, and take naps throughout the day, but are awake when your children are. Gerbils also bite far less than hamsters. And, best for the parents, gerbils are desert animals and therefore produce less waste, causing their cage to take longer to smell bad! If you purchase your gerbil from a breeder, they will most likely be more tame and healthier than those you can buy at a pet store. A responsible breeder will have spent more time with the pups, working to make them hand-tame and making sure they have all they need to be healthy. Check with the American Gerbil Society to find a breeder in your area.
Are hamsters more cuddly than gerbils?
I would say hamsters but personally I have an gerbil, and my hamster died about 4 years ago. I would say an hamster. But it depends about the gerbil/hamster so there is no fact its an opinion.
What is the difference between a Hamster and a gerbil?
1. A gerbil has got a long tail and a hamster has a short stub. 2. A gerbil is a bit like a rat, but smaller, with a furry tail and a shorter snout. 3. Gerbils LOVE chewing and shredding up things, but hamsters don't as much. 4. Gerbils come from the desert. They don't pee very often because they don't drink much. 5. Gerbils are awake during the day. Hamsters are nocturnal. 6. Hamsters have more dark meat.A gerbil is much less a people critter. A gerbil also sleeps 4 hours, then is awake four hours. A hamster (notice the spelling, no p) is noternal. Plus, a gerbil chews everything, while a hamster doesn't. Therefore, a gerbil cannot be put into the plastic houses for ever, because they will find a way to eat it and escape.
How could you tell what kind of hamster you have?
Gerbils' heads are not shaped the same as hamsters, nor are their legs. If you look at several pictures of gerbils and then several pictures of hamsters, it should be pretty obvious which you have. There are plenty of pictures of gerbils at www.agsgerbils.org, the official American Gerbil Society website. Gerbils are also more inclined to sit up on the hind legs and "thump". They do this to signal to other gerbils when something of interest is going on.
What small animals are more popular as pets than hamsters?
Fish are a popular alternative to pet hamsters. They require less upkeep than hamsters and there are many varieties that you can choose from. Another popular choice for many people, are gerbils, which are very similar to hamsters, yet they live in a slightly different environment and prefer to burrow.
