Our boys will let us pet them for short periods,
usually when they are eating a treat. We just gently
stroke them between the ears down to their shoulders
with one finger. Of course, as with anything with
gerbils, they usually soon think of something they
would rather be doing and scamper off. There are also
times we try to pet them but they just tilt their
heads back to investigate the hand and its
possibilities ("You got any munchies there, Mom?").
