__NOTOC__<br />
'''Gerbilling''', also known as '''gerbil stuffing''' or '''gerbil shooting''', is an [[urban legend]]<ref name="snopes"/> that describes a supposed [[human sexual behavior|sexual practice]] of inserting small live animals (usually [[gerbil]]s but also [[mouse|mice]], [[hamster]]s, [[rat]]s and various other [[rodents]]) into the human [[rectum]] to obtain stimulation. Some variations of the legend suggest that the rodent be covered in a narcotic substance such as cocaine prior to being inserted.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
According to folklorist [[Jan Harold Brunvand]], accounts of gerbilling were first recorded in 1984 and initially were said to involve a mouse and an unidentified man. In subsequent versions of the story, the animal was a gerbil and the story applied to several male celebrities.<ref name="Brunvand2001a">{{Cite encyclopedia|article=The Colo-Rectal Mouse|pages=81|author=[[Jan Harold Brunvand|Brunvand, Jan Harold]]|encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Urban Legends|publisher=W.W.

Mike Walker, a [[National Enquirer]] gossip columnist, spent months attempting to verify the gerbilling rumors about a celebrity. "I've never worked harder on a story in my life," Walker told the [[Palm Beach Post]] in 1995. After much investigation, he was unable to find any evidence that a gerbilling incident ever happened: "I'm convinced that it's nothing more than an urban legend."<ref>{{cite book|title=L.A.

Famed comedian Stephen Colbert was suspected of Gerbilling while vacationing in Mexico. Although charges for animal cruelty were filled, the case remains open and it is expected to stay that way. Curently there are no applicable extradiction laws to force Mr. Colbert to return in order to face prosecution.<br />
