Jinxx, who was my very first gerbil, is really aggressive and territorial towards other males. The only exeptions were his brother, and his new litter mate after his brother passed. He's had two litters of his own, and is currently housed with only the son from his second litter. I have a son from his first litter, Jr, but Jinxx won't get a long with him. So Jr is really lonely.
Jinxx also only allows my hand in the tank, and only my hand outside of his tank. Any other person goes near him, he bites the crap out of. So basically, hes a bully.
However...when i pick him up, he just sits there cupped in my hand and purrs. He LOVES it when i kiss his head until he falls asleep. Jinxx purrs a lot when i do this. Sometimes I kiss him to the point his whole head is totally flattened, and hes passed out. It's really adorable. It's weird, because all my other gerbils (despite being handled and bonded with a lot) never purr or even like to be held.
