I have to make a comment. Yes, she can hold them. She is on taking one and Jenny it is not a he it is is SHE! See Jenny is my vest friend other than Mary McDermott. Jenny goes to the same school as me and they are the teachers gerbils. Browie the one she is taking is Kateela's sister from her litter. I am also taking a gerbil. I think Kateela's dad or brother.But the teachers use pine bedding. I told her that is bad, but she doesn;t believe me. Lisa G.

When you get your own, then you can handle them. 6)Plain white bathroom tissue is ok for a bed don't use materials or hamster bedding. 6)Cardboard tubes from paper towels are favorite toys. =====
