Will male gerbils fight each other in the same cage?

Answer 1

Males are typically calmer and less territorial than female gerbils. But with any gerbil, if it is not already a cagemate or sibling, it must be introduced properly through a split-cage method. You can find many examples of how to do this at:

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Boy gerbils behave well with both girl and boy gerbils but girl gerbils do not mix well with other girl gerbils. Beware though when pairing girl and boy gerbils there is a large risk of them breeding!

Answer 3

No - in fact the reverse is true. Female gerbils are more likely to declan than males.

Answer 4

only if they are in groups >3, or with males, even if the ratio of males to females is equal. (except, of course, if they're related or 1 male & 1 female)

Answer 5

not necessarily if they know each other most likely not. they will however "play fight" as in playing by fighting

Answer 6

if they are from different litters.
