| '''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 psychoactive substance such as cocaine prior to being inserted.

| 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 (most notably actor [[Richard Gere]]).<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.

| [[Dan Savage]], a well-known sex-advice columnist who frequently discusses unusual sexual practices, has stated that he has never received a first-hand or even a second-hand account of the practice.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/SavageLove?oid=16295662 |title=Gerbils?

| 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.

| * An episode of [[Family Guy]] featured a cutaway gag involving Peter Griffin attending an Easter Egg hunt at Richard Gere's house. Peter is convinced the easter egg is up Gene butt (due to the rumor Gere had engaged in Gerbilling), ignoring the egg on the ground between the two. After Gere yells at Peter to leave, a gerbil crawls out of Gere's ass and takes the egg and returns to Gere's rectum.

| *Gerbilling is mentioned jokingly in rapper [[Eminem]]'s song "''FACK''".
