I have my Gerbils 4 1.5 months now and there not tamer than the 1e week.
I tried to get them more tamed with putting food on my hand and wait and it worked @ first they would just sit stil and eat it but now if i put my hand in the tank they cume and snif and then run away.
When i take one out he walks from hand 2 hand and sits relaxed but when i let him loose on my bed and try to lure him back on my hand he only puts his front legs on my hand and then run away.
am I doing something wrong?? or is it just the caracter of the Gerbil that he doesn't whan't to walk on my hand when there's no food?
plz Help me I don't know what to do anymore!

It might indeed the gerbil's character! I just grab them! They don't run away, but they also do not climb on my hand or arm themselves (only some do). They are not affraid of that, they are used to it!

I think you are mistaking them liking running around with not being tame . Why would they come on to your hand when they could play and frolic on your bed??? It is not because they are not tame. It is rather that they appreciate and have fun playing.

Mongolian gerbils are very lively animals!
