yes, gerbils like to live in groups like a meerkat in australia. if the cage is big enough, if u have a small cage they will get territorial
I have 2 gerbils and im going on a vacation for 3 or more days what should I do with them?
Find a friend or a neighbor to take care of them. Before you leave, clean their cage. Also, leave directions on what and how much to feed the gerbils. (I've been in this situation before)

What size cage for 3 parakeets?

Can gerbils have babies in captivity?
Absolutely. A male and female gerbil kept together in a cage will reproduce at a rate of about one litter (usually 3 - 7 babies) per month.Gerbils are very friendly and social animals, and don't like living alone. It is best to keep two to four of them together, as space allows. However, unless you want to be overwhelmed with baby gerbils, you should keep the sexes separate, i.e., choose to keep only females, or only males.Gerbils will generally accept new cage-mates only when they are young. If you have an older gerbil, do not attempt to introduce other gerbils to the cage, as these otherwise gentle rodents will aggressively defend their territory, even to the death.

Atleast $35 dollars and $5 every other week. upto $20 for a cage, 3 for a water bottle, 2 for a food dish and for a wheel and plastic toys and some wood shavings for $10 . food usually coasts 2- 3 dollars and for wood shavings about 3 for a bag. Change the shavings in the cage every week. Gerbils cost between $7.00 and $15.00
Could I use a gerbil split cage method for 3 gerbils?
I would not recommend it for two main reasons. If you already have an established pair who have been living together for a long time you shouldn't attempt to introduce another gerbil, this will result in the pair 'ganging up' on the single gerbil, fighting him, injuring him and this may lead to his death. Even when using the split cage you should never attempt this. Secondly if you do have three unknown gerbils the since the split cage requires equal exposure and living space for all the gerbils it would be hard to build a cage like this, I'm picturing some kind of triangular or circular with sections cut out, which is quite frankly awkward. As well as this you may find that two of the gerbils pair whilst ignoring the other. When they are in a split cage as a pair they can give their full attention to each other but in a three it would be very risky. I would suggest pairing two of your gerbils and adopting another for your other little guy. Please do not buy a single gerbil from a pet shop if they have an even number of gerbils. This is because you will be breaking up a pair to try and create another pair which might not even work and leaving a single gerbil on his own.
6 month old guinea pig Is it ok to introduce a second female guinea pig right now If so how big should the cage be that they share?
If the first Guinea pig is either female, or a neutered boar (male), then they should be fine. They thrive much better with company than on their own. In my experience, the perfect realtionship is a neutered boar and two females. The cage should be as big as possible however 3 piggies should be fine in a cage 600x1200mm as long as there is a bit of room for them to plan and jump. I have a cage that is two storeys, one for a big play area and then a slope up to a second floor where all their bedding is.
Once i had 3 gerbils one of them died. Now they all look sad and bored.Can i introduce a younger gerbil to my older ones?
you can, but its a lot of effort, so it probably would be easier for you not to... I have to get a divided cage and put your older gerbils in one side and the new gerbil on the other side. You swap them every 2/3 days because this will get them used to being in each others' territories. after about 2/3 weeks you can introduce them together and they should hopefully like each other.
How much are gerbil food and cage?
Food is relatively cheep around £2-£6. Cages are the most expensive ranging from £25 for small cages usually for one sometimes two gerbils to £100 for groups. The one I brought was £70 from pets at home large for 3-4 gerbils.
