Everyone knows hamsters are nocturnal, or they sleep during the day and are active at night, and most people think gerbils are too. However, gerbils are actually diurnal-they sleep and play at any time of the day and night. That means their sleep pattern is more compatible with humans, so gerbils are less likely to keep their owners up at night with chewing and playing noises. That also means they are less likely to bite their owners. How? Imagine trying to wake a hamster that's been sleeping just when you want to play with it; the sleepy hamster may be cranky and bite you. A gerbil, on the other hand, doesn't sleep all day, so you will be able to play with it during the day without having to wake it up.
