Haha it looks like my choice of words has heated up the thread a little bit...all I was trying to say was to use caution, that biting things is in the nature of gerbils when they interact with their surroundings. I'm slowly learning how to "speak" on boards, so many different people from different backgrounds, people interpret the same phrase in two totally different ways. I didn't mean to put down anyone who has had to offer a live gerbil.
