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.
