Maybe they n’t like the taste of he water supply try bottle water .   Gerbils need to take time to adapt to your sent, and your hands. Maybe you need to put a dab of peanu tbutter on your wrist as a treat? This way, it is busy while your holding it.   -----Original Message----- From: Gerbil Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ken Yung Sent: Monday, May 15, 2000 11:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Need help on stabillizing the gerbil   Does anyone know how to hold a gerbil that I just bought from a store 2 days ago? I want to clip his nails but he keeps trying to jump outta my hands when I'm about to. I'm thinking Sunflower seeds to help control them but I'm not sure. Btw they don't seem to drink much water (I check every now and then) or like sunflower seeds. is this normal?
