Okay...so here is the question - what is the better sex when it comes to gerbils? Males or females?

I had a female gerbil and she was VERY hyper and disliked being handled.She would come up and lick my hands,but she hated being handled.

I was reading something and it was 50/50.Some people said females were more dominant,yet more calm (mine wasn't) and others said males are the calm ones.One person said males are really hyper.Now I am confused.I only had one gerbil in my life...so I need other opinions.

I may be getting a pair of gerbils in 4-5 weeks.
Someone I been talking to just had a litter of 6 gerbils born this past Sunday and I said I may take a pair.I have a few weeks to decide,but that is why I wanna know if males or females make better pets.

I am thinking along the lines as a pair of males...but I dunno.
