My friend Samantha and I made a maze for my gerbils! They went through it but didn't eat the sweets! (cat treats) Is this normal gerbil behaviour? I thought gerbils were supposed to not like them!

Gerbils are too intelligent to do the mazes designed by scientists for mice and rats.I expect the maze you and Samantha made was more personal,more fun and they enjoyed it. If they get bored with it,they will probably chew it up ;D.
A lot of ppl assume Collies are intelligent,because every time a trainer says 'sit',it sits. I prefer Whippies,they sit once,if you repeat the instruction,they look at you as if you are the thick one,and basically say 'no way'. I often think that gerbils demonstrate similar behaviour to the whippies,and I think both whippies and gerbils are very intelligent. It's a different intelligence/understanding.

Yes, they are some kind of dogs. Similar to grey hounds if I'm correct!
And about gerbils, they are curious! They like to explore new things. And some gerbils like cat treats, but some don't!
