Hi guys! Just today when I was visiting with my boys, I decided to try to get a kiss from them and put my lips to the edge of their tank. My older boy Felix came right up to me and put his mouth to mine! It was the cutest thing ever. Does anyone else's gerbils do that or anything similar? If not, try it! I can't get over how adorable that was  just make sure you're not sick and your lips are dry, for the safety of your gerbies <3 |

I haven't trained my gerbils to do it- but in general, if I put my face in the cage they'll do it themselves. Their whiskers tickle. . . its so cute. |

My daughter does that all the time, being honest, I think it's the gerbil just being nosey and want to see what's going on or if you have a treat/toy for them.

yeah, I do that with two of my gerbils. The other nibbles anything that comes through the bars, thinking it's a treat at first. So I don't do it much when he is there, because I don't want to be nibbled...

Most of my gerbils would give kisses. If you notice, that's generally how they greet each other too. I've also had gerbils who would take treats from between my lips.
And I used to have a gerbil who would climb my arm to my shoulder and jam her snout in my ear canal to give me a gerbil wet willy! THAT tickled!

I make mine kiss my husband's cheek. They don't really mind and I give them kisses but they only stand on their hind legs and stare. (I suspect they expect sunflower seeds)
