Wash out any cuts, first. Then consider if you still want your gerbils. There is not a known way to "cure" your gerbils, so to stop biting, you should a., give them away or b., suffer! (You can give unwanted gerbils back to the petstore.)

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.

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.
Why the parent gerbils are not taking care of their baby since i tough them?

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 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.
What is a sign that your gerbil is beating up the other?
The other one has visible bite marks and they bleed. Gerbils can't punch.
What bites more girl gerbils or boy gerbils?
It depends on their nature. Some are more aggressive than others so you might be careful aroud them. If you are looking to buy one, just look at its behavior and that will probably tell you if they bite or not.
