Gerbil bites?

Hello, I have two gerbils, and for about three weeks now, one has been constantly biting me until it bleeds. The other is sweet and likes to come into my hand. They're both almost a year old now, and they're both females. I don't know what to do. They were both always so tame, and now one of them has started biting.

she is kept in too tight space and you are a threat to her as you want to touch her, you force her to approach.

Mice, gerbils, rats are sometimes moody. They want to say that they want to be left alone at the moment. We can say that we can talk, they have to convey that differently.
you have to be patient and make sure they react and pull the fingers away from the smallest signs.

Carefully go to the vet once. Sudden behavioral changes could have medical causes, eg pain.
