Ya know what--I'd be afraid they would end up as snake food if I gave them to a place that had exotic pets--I bet anything you can find some Kinder-care places or something like that that are looking for some classroom pets that might like them. How about a women's shelter or someplace where there are children so they can help take care of the pets and it would be good for them to see someone being nurturing rather than mean. Also some Hospitals have some places where they put families that have children undergoing treatment and not so much for them but their siblings might like them.

Any pet shop should take them off you hands and maybe give you something for it too..or you can put a sigh up in the front yard....hampsters and gerbils are 95% of the time the first pet for kids so post a sign that a lot of kids are at

where do you live? most pet stores will accept baby gerbils and hammies...just call ahead. you'd be surprised. additionally you can google/yahoo search gerbil and hamster (or exotic animal) rescues in your area to see if anyone can help you out. whatever you do, do not take them to an animal shelter...unless it's a no kill sanctuary. otherwise your gerbils may end up put to sleep.
good luck!!

give them to a pet shop or make for slae signs, or do what most other people do. go to walmart and stay outside and ask people if they wan gerbils and put them in a box saying for free. ???

you could try selling them to a pet shop, they would take them but you have to know what type they are and i think their sex too. or you could try selling them in the paper. try your local newspaper, there are people out there that will want to buy them.

I think you could probably find someone who wants them, but almost any pet store will take them and use them for snake food (if that doesn't bother you).

When I was a kid, my dad set my gerbils free in the park. I cried for days. :o( Maybe PetSmart will buy them from you.. I dunno.
