Gerbils are sensitive and can easily get scared. They can get afraid of unexpected approaches to their enclosure. You should try to make some disturbance deliberately while going towards their cage so they don't get frightened by your presence.
You should also train the kids in your family on handling the gerbils. These pets are delicate enough to be handled roughly for instance if you hold a gerbil by its tail, you might break it off. You should always put your gerbil on your palm, in your cupped hand.
You should try to get a young gerbil so that you can train it and get it used to human interaction and handling. It is so important to not let your gerbil have a bad experience as it can cause it to get insecure around human beings.
Your pet will benefit from regular health and wellness checks at your animal hospital Pasadena, MD.
