@999663isback yes it does, I used to have a gerbil, (I am probably getting another today) and my gerbils name was Scrambler. my sister kylee was playing with him and he fell and got underneath the couch coushins (sp?) and she went to pick him up. when she brought her hand up all she saw was the tip of the tail in her hand and a bit of blood. so the answer of your question is yes, it can.
