How long will it take for a gerbil to starve to death?

[MarieLeishman]

I hate my gerbils they are noisy and they bite me and I just cannot stand them anymore! Sometimes I get so pissed off with them I hurt them and now I want to starve them to death so my parents will think they died of something else. Don't give bs answers like "you don't deserve to have pets!" I never wanted gerbils I wanted rats but my parents made me get gerbils.
