I suggest you let it settle in before you start holding it a lot
because it may not be used to playing with a person rather
then another gerbil. When I got my gerbils, I held them both
a little each day because they still need love and comfort but
they don't want to be squeezed to death. You can also give them
a more special treat like fruit or veggies instead of their boring
food mix, but don't give it to often or they might get sick. The
thing they love the most is a huge area to play in. If you have
and toys that you can make a home or maze for them, they enjoy
it a lot. They love excercise. My Gerbils like to run in balls. They
also like it when I put them on my kitchen chairs. I separate them
from a distance (less than half a foot) and put a long Paper Towel
roll to connect the chairs. But don't worry. They usually
settle in anyway after 2 to 3 days. :)

The ideal temperature range for a gerbil to live comfortably is between 65-75°F (18-24°C). It is important to avoid temperatures below 60°F (15°C) or above 80°F (27°C) as extreme temperatures can be harmful to gerbils.

What does a gerbil eye infection look like?
This will depend upon what exactly you mean by "eye infection". Generally owners consider this to be any inflammatory process occurring in or around the orbit. Inflammation of the conjunctiva (the pink membrane around the inside of the orbit) is one of the more common "eye infections" people will describe. With conjunctivitis, the perimeter of the orbit becomes red and swollen, often partially or completely closing the eyelids. An exudate often accompanies this, resulting in crusty material around the orbit and sometimes sealing the eyelids closed. True eye infections, where the eye itself is experiencing an inflammatory event, will look different. The sclera (white part of the eye) often becomes injected, meaning the blood vessels enlarge and are more prominent, looking something like a red roap map over the white of the eye. The pupil may be dilated or constricted, depending upon the exact location of the infection, and the cornea is often cloudy or red.
