well what do you mean climb - if you mean do monkey bars then NO !

the wires hurt their feet but if you are talking about wild gerbils they might climb but you need to expand the question to get a more specficic question !

omiai:

They are very good climbers are jumpers. The don't often climb, but when they do it is quite impressive. Just be careful that they wont hurt themselves if they fall!

They will climb up your jumper onto your shoulder. some will just sit there, others will crawl onto your back, be careful not to squash them, and if you're nervous about that, just try and make sure they don't climb on you too much!

Why would they? In your home, they live in cages and are very agile jumpers and are very quick. In the wild, they live in the desert in places such as California. That is why gerbils as pets are illegal in California because if they get out they might start multiplying themsleves and overpopulate. There would be no trees for the gerbils to climb anyways!!

They do dig because it is an instinct and they will create tunnels because they are supposed to in the wild so put some extra bedding in your cage and they will dig tunnels but avoid pine and cedar bedding as these are poisonous to gerbils.

Gerbils love hamster tubes! There are several bad sides to them though.

1. They chew them. They will be gone or unusable in a week or 2.

2. The chewed plastic can cut and tear the intestines when it is swallowed, causing the need for expensive surgery or even death.

I would not recommend it unless you can find a glass one, which is rather unlikely.

No, gerbils cannot climb glass walls but it is almost certain that you will need a lid. they can jump (not very high) and they move around there bedding/ shavings to create little hills which would provide and escape rout.
