    Gerbils and hamsters are relatively the same to care for. The big differences between the two are that gerbils are less prone to bite or be agitated as easily as hamsters are, but a downfall is that they are MUCH faster than hamsters! I prefer gerbils!

    To answer question number 4, yes and no. As I said, they are less prone to bite, but they are a lot faster than hamsters so sometimes small children have a hard time keeping ahold of them.

    That's probably not a problem, as Tia is as fast as lightning at times and on numerous occasions we have caught her, and Kurt (my brother) keeps hold of her very well considering that she is a bit large for his hands and squirms a lot!
    Thanks for the info
