We don't disturb Lorenzo during the day and let him sleep in his tiny hamster 'trundle bed' (this is basically a little wooden box with a pull-away compartment), but when it gets dark he is up and goes. We let him out of the cage and he just runs around, as much as possible, for the rest of the evening. It's never hard to catch him--he eventually comes running right up to us! I don't know if he is friendly, bold, or just curious, but it works well.

Lorenzo il Magnifico
After a few days we settled on a name for the gerbil--Lorenzo, named after Lorenzo de' Medici (aka Lorenzo il Magnifico, or the Magnificent), the powerful patron of the arts from Renaissance Florence. That is pretty much all you need to know about his name.
