This method has worked best for me as well. The same method works with a
paper towel tube. Cover one end with your hand and put it on the floor and
sit really still. Have a friend scare the gerbil toward the tube and when
you feel the gerbil touch your hand, quickly flip the tupe upward and cover
with your other hand.

<< This works for me. My dog helps. She lets me know where the little gerbil
is hiding. She is a gentle dog, so she never catches it. Then in the
hiding place, we put a circular tube (The kind they sell for gerbil cages).
I fill it with some sunflower seeds, not to many though. Then we watch for
a while. When the gerbil gets brave enough, they walk in the circular tube
and start eating. When they get to the sunflower seeds, I pick it up
quickly(I really mean quick) and cover the hole and then I put the gerbil in
its cage. This has worked numerous times. >>
