No, gerbils are definitely social animals, but they are territorial. Gerbils get depressed if alone, and may even become aggressive. It is best to keep gerbils in same-sex pairs, this way they have one buddy, and there is no chance of declanning, which can happen with groups of gerbils mroe than two.

The gerbils you see in pet stores are not wild. Major pet stores take in gerbils from a variety of sources but place orders with large companies that breed and sell various small animals. These gerbils are descendants of the first ones imported to the United States in the 1950's. Wild gerbils still live in the Mongolian desert where some were originally captured and brought to the United States.
