Question
Which do you prefer a gerbil or a dwarf hamster?  I currently attend school during the day and work 3 days a week, i am loyal to my pets.  Which one requires more work and which ones are friendly?  I want to hold them alot and play with them

Answer
If you have less to time to spend with it and want a friendlier animal, i would suggest gerbil. Dwarf hamsters can take much longer to tame so i would have to say a gerbil would be your best bet. they are quick to tame and make very friendly companions. Good luck!!
