Minnow traps are meant for minnows. A gerbil or hamster
can be hurt by one. Live traps (aka 'Havahart') work for
larger hamsters, and gerbils that aren't sneaky enough.
I find that the corner them and throw a hand towel over them
works.

her, when I find her I chase her into a corner, when they're there I slowly
put the jar in front of them. With gerbils cute curiosity they go into the
