I can testify to that. The three gerbils we got from Tana all would run up our arms to our shoulders pretty much as soon as they got use to us. The two remaining ones still do it. (When they are in the mood.) 8-)
They don't sit there though. They explore both shoulders, check out the collar, the back of the head, my earrings, ... Because of this and because once, fairly early on, Frodo took a flying leap off my husband's shoulder, we do not let them up on our shoulders without the other person spotting them from behind. But if you sat on something soft (bed, sofa) before letting them climb up, you probably wouldn't need a spotter. I have heard of people that walk around with their gerbils on their shoulders. If we weren't so paranoid about them jumping (like Frodo) we would probably be able to accustom ours to ride on our shoulders, too. But we aren't going to give either of them a chance to try that little high dive trick. 8-} --- Tana and The Little Rascals <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've never had to teach mine to do that.
