you have to be patient with your gerbil(s). wait a few days, with minimal contact. then, take a treat, such as a seed, and open up your hand. let your gerbil sniff your hand, and finally, let him take the treat. this shows the gerbil that your hand is peaceful. it will get use to your hand in a few days, and so, you will be able to play with him. (be with him in a large area with very big walls, as gerbils jump very high.

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.
