Hello, it could be he doesn't like sunflower seeds. Every gerbil has their favorite treats. You can also try using pumpkin seeds, peanuts, Cheerios, fruits, vegetables or mealworms and see if he prefers those. Some gerbils also tame easier than others. Try luring him into a small cardboard box, than lifting the box and putting him into your hands. Let him run around in them for about 30 seconds, than put him back in his tank and try again. Eventually, once he gets used to the smell of your hands, he might come in by himself. The important thing is to keep at it and not give up. This thread also has some good taming ideas: gerbilforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=carefaq&action=display&thread=11565
