Are gerbils good for people with allergies?

No, gerbils are not a good choice for people with allergies. Gerbils produce dander, which can cause allergies in some people. Dander is made up of tiny flakes of skin that are shed by animals. These flakes can get into the air and cause people to sneeze, have a runny nose, or watery eyes. In some cases, dander can even cause more serious health problems, such as asthma.
