Do female gerbils bleed when they have their 'period' there was blood in my female gerbils cage i cant find where it came from and she seems to be fine?
Gerbils do not have periods as they are oestral mammals and not menstrual ones like us. Some oestral mammals have a bloody discharge, but not gerbils. What you saw was most likely to be a smear of porphyrins from a gland near the gerbil's eye.

Are female gerbils supouse to hope?
yes
Can a older male gerbil get a younger female gerbil pregnet?
Yes. Male gerbils, no matter how old they are, can impregnate female gerbils. Most female gerbils can no longer conceive after 2 years of age. Either way, it's never wise to put a male and female together unless you intend to breed and provide for several litters. Gerbils are not easy to find homes for.

...You are kidding, right? Gerbils are mammals; some of them are male, and some are, well, female. They reproduce the way mammals do.

About 28 days after the female gets pregnant.
