The last three days i've been getting the bathtub with my two girls and today they both started grooming me. Chewie groomed the hair on my legs and Baby groomed my arm, the back of my neck and my some on the side of my face...i thought this was neat and funny. Has anyone else had any experience with their gerbils grooming them, and does this mean they've fully accepted me even though they still don't like to sit still and be held in my hands?

None of my gerbies groom me, though they do lick me (my mum says they're basting me for Christmas ;D ). But it does sound as though they like you, even though they don't allow you to hold them - then again, if they think of you as a large gerbil, they'd probably be confused by this ("Arghh! Noo!! The huge gerbil is lifting me into the air!! The height!! NOOOO!!") But congrats, you're very lucky

Yes, your gerbils love you. Sometimes my Rody will groom my hair when she sits on the top of my head, lol. ;D

My gerbils usually like to scent me lol, Ill place my hand in the cage and they run all over scenting away. My older male Orlando sometimes will give my fingers a gentle nip, I think hes just curious

Yeah, sometimes mine do that too. They will run all over my hand then sniff and sometimes nip a little, but usually they stay in my hand long enough to be picked up.
