You want to find a curious gerbil that, while it may run away from movement, will still stick its head out and sniff at you. If you're buying from a breeder, the gerbil is likely to be socialized, and may come right up to you. If your gerbil is not socialized, it isn't very hard to do so, it just takes a while. You want your gerbil to be active during most of the day (gerbils are not nocturnal, they are diurnal, which means they basically take naps and don't prefer day or night sleep), and the gerbil should be sleek and slim, but not skinny. Make sure to look for bright, shiny eyes, too.
