First, buy a 10 gallon glass tank. Second, buy a wire mesh divider at a pet store. Third, install the divider. Fourth, put one gerbil in one side and the other on the other side. Leave them there for about 3 - 4 days. Last, wear rubber gloves and carefully remove the divider, letting them smell each other. If they fight, break them apart and divide them for a couple more days. Repeat until necessary.

Yes, if you buy them from a shop you usually get them in pairs. This is because they get lonely and depressed on their own.
