Most gerbils take time to drain down a bottle of water. They usually drink at nighttime and only a little bit. After all, gerbils are desert creatures. If they still don't drink, try changing the type of water in the dessert they get all the liquid they need from food.

Yes, but gerbils are desert animals so they aren't going to drink much because of their adaptation to desert surroundings is inharited to all gerbils.

Im not super sure but I think the mother teaches them when they are done drinking milk. It is kind of an instinct. You might want to lower it so it is easier for them to drink out of.
