For the safety of the gerbil, you should only hold the babies after they open their eyes. At this time, they are more mobile and should be picking up new scents. If you pick them up at a younger stage, the parents may think your scent is that of a predator and they will kill and eat the baby.

Biting is the only way a gerbil has to communicate with you that it doesn't like something. So to try and force them to stop isn't natural. Plenty of handling early on in life with gerbils from a responsible independent (not a pet store) breeder, will not result in a gerbil that bites hard or often.

Maybe it depends on te gerbil. Some will be so sad they stop eating. This can be very bad. Try to keep your gerbil busy through the hard time. If its an older gerbil it might be better to let your gerbil live alone for the rest of its life. I f you get it a new friend it might be mad. But then you would have to go through the same thing all over again. It wouldn't be good.
How long is a gerbils life span?
The proper way to ask that is: How long can a gerbil live if it has lethargy?Usually if a gerbil has lethargy, it means they are often lazy, always tired maybe sometimes even weak. A gerbil with lethargy can live for it's normal length if you are willing to help it. If you notice he is too weak or just too tired to get his own food, put the food next to him. If the gerbil is too tired to reach his water, put the water in a dish(though this is not recommended, you could try to bring the bottle to him), that way he can reach it better. If he cannot eat, than you must bring him/her to a vet, otherwise your gerbil has a low chance of surviving. Gerbils need exercise as well, if your gerbil can run on a wheel for at least two to three minutes, your gerbil will do fine, but if it stops every so many seconds. It will become obese, with less exercise, a gerbil may become more lethargic than before.If you need any more info just note.
