Are gerbil's nocturnal?
Of course not! They sleep during the night just like you, and should not keep you up, unless you go to bed early. They know when you sleep, and they sleep whenever they see you sleeping. They also take naps when you are gone. Gerbils love to nap, and they do not usually take deep sleeps though. They sleep when you do, but wake a little earlier. My point: Gerbils sleep when you do. They are not nocturnal, but they do nap a bit. Some breeds of gerbils are actually nocturnal. And some are not. My gerbils come out in the morning but then go to sleep again until the evening.

I'm not sure why, but you can train your hamster to become not nocturnal. The best way is to put it in a room separate from an open area. Close the windows in the daytime and leave the lights on at night. If your hamster is young enough, after a couple of weeks your hamster will be trained.
