I’ve been thinking about buying either one.How much are they usually?

can everybody get a picture or link to one for sale of a good cage and then say what hamster is the best for it? i really cant decide what hamster or cage to get please help! i am a beginner but i just don’t like how big the Syrians get so anybody know the tamest of the dwarfs too?

To start with, you’ll have to prove to your parents you’re responsible and committed to gerbils.
In order to show you’re responsible, start by just cleaning your room without being asked, keeping it clean, helping out around the house without complaining, doing the dishes without being asked (if you don’t have a dishwasher), doing your own laundry, etc. Prove to them that you can handle having a pet. Remember, though, they’ll expect you to keep this up even after you get your gerbil.
Then, do tons and tons of research. I researched gerbils for at least a month before I even asked my mom for them. I joined a gerbil forum ( http://gerbilforum.proboards21.com/ ), read all the articles I could get a hold of on the internet, spoke to other gerbil owners, asked a few questions on here, and I planned out exactly what I was going to get for my gerbils. My mom doesn’t like rodents. She says they all look like rats, so naturally, when I first asked, she said absolutely not. However, I kept it up. I showed her I was responsible and that I was really committed to getting gerbils. I showed her exactly what they were, and told her that she would NEVER have to even touch them. She doesn’t even have to look at them. I’d be the caretaker, and I would never dump them on her. I’ve now had my two wonderful little gerbils for about 6 months, and to this day, I’ve kept up my end of the deal. My mom has never touched them, and I care for them.
So, all in all, the best way to get your gerbil is to EARN them. Don’t go around the house slamming doors, crying, starving yourself, whining, etc. when you don’t get your way. I’m not saying you do, but most young kids tend to do that. Hah. Be mature about it. Prove to them you’re responsible. Teach them about gerbils and the care they require. Show them you can handle it, and show them that you’re willing to care for your gerbils for their entire lives, which can be up to 5 years. Gerbils can be great pets for the right people. Good luck!
Also, please keep in mind that gerbils are social and should always be kept in same sex pairs. A pair of males or a pair of females is fine. Two isn’t much more work than one. In fact, one gerbil may be more work because you have to spend a ton of time with it trying to make up for the lack of gerbil companionship. However, as much time as you spend with it, you simply can’t replace a friend there to groom, play with, and sleep with. Lone gerbils tend to live shorter, less healthy lives. If they’re unhappy, they can be unsocial with humans. So, two males or two females is the best thing to do.

My hamster has a cage which is a plastic base and a metal cage on top. She has plenty of toys and a wheel but its still chewing the metal bars? How can I make her stop and more importantly can she chew through the metal? I am so scared of her escaping.

She’s only about 5cm long bless her. She’s beautiful but I’m struggling to get her to pose.

i really want a small pet of my own, but i don’t know what to get.
i need somthing that doesn’t make to much noise and does not need a large area of space. and i need somthing that lives in a cage but i can take it out and hold too.
