it all depends on how you introduce them because i have two gerbil and one is an adult and one is still young and they get along very well If a Gerbil has lived alone for a long time however it can be very difficult to introduce a new friend to it.

Once i had 3 gerbils one of them died. Now they all look sad and bored.Can i introduce a younger gerbil to my older ones?

you can, but its a lot of effort, so it probably would be easier for you not to... I have to get a divided cage and put your older gerbils in one side and the new gerbil on the other side. You swap them every 2/3 days because this will get them used to being in each others' territories. after about 2/3 weeks you can introduce them together and they should hopefully like each other.

Can gerbils get along with other gerbils?

Providing they have been together since birth then yes. In fact gerbils are very sociable and should be kept with same-sex company as a lonely gerbil has been proven to live signficantly less time than one with company. Unfortunately they are very territorial and if you do have a lonely adult then the only way to introduce a friend of the same gender to them is via the splitcage method. There are plenty of guides to this online.


Do you have to separate the baby gerbils from there parents?

No. You should leave the new gerbils, mother and father together. If the parents seem to be harming their children you can take the one harming and separate it using the split cage method.
