Do gerbils like wind? What does an upright gerbil tail really mean?

Question

I will like to ask do gerbil like wind? or blow wind to them? If the gerbil's tail curved up, what does it mean? Thanks. Pet's info: Small Animal | Gerbil | Female | 1 month and 18 days old

Hello. I would doubt a small animal like a gerbil is going to appreciate a wind blowing directly in its face. A gentle breeze is certainly tolerable. Gerbils use their tails for balance, so an upright functioning tail is an indication of a happy healthy pet. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
