well, you cant make a gerbil go through a tube if he doesnt want to. you have to wait until the gerbil is comfortable with the tube in its presence, then he might explore it, but that could take a while. If you want the gerbil to go inside quicker though.. try putting a treat or two inside the tube, and make sure the gerbil knows they are there. Then the gerbil will go inside if he wants those treats. (just saying, he might wait a bit) once he is inside it once, he will probably go in again!! =D
It depends. If your gerbil is tired, not very long as he will go to sleep. But a young, active gerbil may run all night on its wheel!
It will not harm your gerbil, if you give it an empty toilet roll tube. It will probbly go in and out of it for a while, and move it around it's cage; It will then chew it up into small pieces, to mix in with it's bedding.
The average Gerbil can peak at around 15mph! Overweight or obese gerbils can't be arsed.
My gerbil is a little fuzzy critter that loves to run all night long in his workout wheel.
Self Defence in the wild = When a predator got the gerbil the gerbil losses hair on tail and if needed the tail pops of so the predator will eat the tail and the gerbil will get a chance to run away ,its like with a leopard gecko
by its tail or if the gerbil is calm u can just pic it up by its sides it wont bite
Yes as long has it isn't a straight tube
well, usually if you pick the gerbil up, you can feel in its stomach things that feel like small potatoes. the gerbil will obviously be larger.
the longest living gerbil lived up to 8 years.

You want to find a curious gerbil that, while it may run away from movement, will still stick its head out and sniff at you. If you're buying from a breeder, the gerbil is likely to be socialized, and may come right up to you. If your gerbil is not socialized, it isn't very hard to do so, it just takes a while. You want your gerbil to be active during most of the day (gerbils are not nocturnal, they are diurnal, which means they basically take naps and don't prefer day or night sleep), and the gerbil should be sleek and slim, but not skinny. Make sure to look for bright, shiny eyes, too.
