Yes, if you buy them from a shop you usually get them in pairs. This is because they get lonely and depressed on their own. However it is very dangerous to introduce two gerbils who have never met before. They can often end up killing each other. As when you buy them in pairs they are siblings. And have been together since a young age.
They are social animals, and will groom and play with each other.

No, gerbils are definitely social animals, but they are territorial. Gerbils get depressed if alone, and may even become aggressive.

Other gerbils.
Gerbils are an animal and can not be "invented".
Gerbils and guinea pigs have different social behaviors and communication methods, which can make it challenging for them to get along. Gerbils are more active and territorial, while guinea pigs are social and laid-back. It is not recommended to house them together as they might not understand each other's behaviors, leading to stress and potential conflict. It's best to provide separate living spaces for gerbils and guinea pigs.
Male gerbils can be neutered, but it is not recomended. Female gerbils should not be spayed. In general male gerbils should not be neutered unless there is a good reason for it.
no gerbils are not originally from the UK but instead from the deserts of Asia. But you can still buy gerbils in the UK
