Well basically gerbils are sociable animals and don't like to be alone as they will get lonely. If they have a friend they can play with each other and groom another. Never get a gerbil on its own unless its being introduced to one you already have as its considered cruel.
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
no gerbils are not originally from the UK but instead from the deserts of Asia. But you can still buy gerbils in the UK
Gerbils that you buy in the store are typically Mongolian Gerbils and are from Mongolia (hense the name). They live in the deserts there.
most good pet stores sell gerbils but if not then there are a few breeders that you can go to, I myself am breeder

Yes. But at pet store they should have a group of gerbils. Only buy a gerbil if both are from the same tank at Petsmart or Petco, or your local pet store. If your gerbils start fighting, take them back. WARNING: If you see a tank at a pet store contained of fighting gerbils, don't buy a pair.
feed them a little less and buy them an exercise wheel
You can comfortably fit 2 gerbils. Make sure you get 2 not 1 because they are social. Make sure your gerbils have lived together before you buy them because if not there will be fighting. Good luck!
