they are similar, but not the same. they are both rodents, but have different shaped faces, and mice are slightly smaller. gerbils have fury tails, mice have hairless ones.gerbils hop on their hind legs, mice crawl around. gerbils smell less, are more inteligent (usually), and become more tame (usually). mice are the easiest small pet to look after as they are the least inteligent small animal. gerbils are more fun, and still very easy to look after. most people prefer pet gerbils to pet mice.
