Pet gerbils are generally considered to be safe from hantavirus, as the virus is primarily associated with wild rodents like deer mice. While domesticated gerbils can carry other diseases, the risk of hantavirus transmission from pet gerbils to humans is extremely low. However, good hygiene and proper care should always be practiced when handling any pet rodent to minimize any health risks.
