Does a gerbils cage need to be off the ground?
No. Just keep in mind when placing the cage that it it's a wire cage, gerbils will kick their shavings everywhere and it will most likely Mae a mess around the outside of the cage. Also keep in mind that if the door is left open or the lid is left off or whatever, they will probably take the escape chance. With the cage on the floor, the gerbil's free to go. With it on a table, the gerbil may be trapped, or, they may jump and get themselves hurt. Just think out the scenerios when placing the cage.
