I posted this sometime last week, but got no responce.  I would really like
some advice with this.  Thanx again. . . .

I've had 2 female gerbils for some time now, and ever since I got them they
always run away from me when I tried to pick them up, or even put my hand in
the cage. �I've tried to get them to walk onto my hand using treats, but they
just grab the treat and run to the corner. �And when I open the cage door and
hold my hand outside of it they put their front paws on me and if I move my
hand at all they run. This is getting very frustrating, especially when I'm
trying to clean the cage. �Is this normal? �What can I do to get the gerbils
to let me pet them and pick them up?
