Gerbils may stay still in your hand for several reasons, including curiosity, caution, or trust. When they feel secure in their environment and with the person holding them, they might remain still to assess their surroundings. Additionally, gerbils are prey animals, so they may freeze as a natural instinct to avoid potential threats. Providing a calm and gentle handling experience can encourage them to relax and stay still.

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.
Why do bubbles in hand sanitizer stay still?
The bubbles in hand sanitizer can appear to stay still because the liquid has a high viscosity, meaning it is thick and resists flowing easily. This can prevent the bubbles from moving around or popping quickly. Additionally, the bubbles may be trapped within the gel-like consistency of the hand sanitizer, further contributing to their perceived stillness.
