Yes, they do! They can have a littler of 1-6+ baby's every 30-40 days. So if yo do breed them, make sure you put femals and males in different cages. You can put a daughter of the mother in the cage to help take care of the next litter, too. and have good homes for all of them, don't just feed them to snakes!

To be honest, if you just buy 2 gerbils, boy and girl, then it is unpredictable to know when they mate. They could mate anytime. :D

Are gerbils better alone or in pairs?
Gerbils are normally better with a mate or in packs. Some even say they have a longer life span.
Are gerbils easy to tame?
Yes. My Gerbils were very easy to tame. I handled them everyday. And fed them food from my hands. Plus they will do anything for their favourite treat.
Will baby gerbils have birth defects if a brother and sister mate?
Yes. Inbreeding will cause fixed wrists, kinky tails, etc. Do NOT let them mate!
How often do gerbils have babys?
Gerbils can have a litter about every 5 weeks. Gerbils mate right after the birth of a litter, and the mother can prolong the pregnancy to up to 40 days if she is nursing. A gerbil will produce about 4-5 pups on average per litter, but can have up to 12! With about 10 litters per year with no break, that means about 50 gerbil pups a year! They are rather prolific breeders. :]
Why would your gerbils mate become aggressive towards her?

How do gerbils mate?
It's really quite self explainatory. Get younger gerbils, a male and a female. Make sure they aren't from the same litter, if they are the babies could have health problems. If they are younger, introducing them to one another should be a peice of cake, if not use the slipt-cage method. They should mate, and about 21 days later, you will have a litter of gerbils. =)
Do zebra finches mate easily?
