| '''Gerbilling''', also known as '''gerbil stuffing''' or '''gerbil shooting''', is a [[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 reports 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.<ref name="snopes">{{cite web |url=http://www.snopes.com/risque/homosex/gerbil.asp |title=From Gere to eternity |date=2001-11-18|author=Barbara and David P.

| 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.

| A very prominent mention of gerbilling occurred on mainstream TV. In the episode "[[The Death Camp of Tolerance]]", the fourteenth episode of the [[South Park (season 6)|sixth season]] of the American animated television series ''[[South Park]]'', and the 93rd overall episode of the series. It originally aired on [[Comedy Central]] in the United States on November 20, 2002. Finally promoted to teaching fourth graders, [[Mr. Garrison]] realizes that getting fired for being [[homosexuality|homosexual]] could allow him to sue the school for millions. He decides to perform outrageous sex acts in the classroom, hiring his partner [[List of South Park Elementary staff#Mr. Slave|Mr. Slave]] as his teaching assistant. Though the children complain about Garrison's inappropriate activities, their parents mistakenly think their children are intolerant of homosexuality. Garrison, annoyed that no one has complained about his actions, steps up his campaign to get fired by shoving "Lemmiwinks", the class gerbil, into Mr. Slave's [[rectum]], as an act of gerbilling.

| A February 2015 episode of ''[[Family Feud]]'' featured a woman who immediately answered "a gerbil" when host [[Steve Harvey]] asked "Name something a doctor would pull out of a person." The response produced prolonged laughter from the audience and a stunned silence from Harvey; even the other contestant at the podium burst out laughing over her response. The clip of the scene from the episode quickly went [[Viral video|viral]].<ref>[http://fox13now.com/2015/02/12/she-said-what-possibly-the-most-awkward-answer-ever-shouted-on-game-show/ She said what?
