if you look at the back end of you gerbil, you can tell by how close the hole is to the tail. you will have to ask a vet, breeder or local pet store for a definite answer. DO NOT TRY TO GUESS YOURDELF, IT IS HARD AND IF YOU GET IT WRONG YOU COULD END UP WITH (UP TO) 13 BABIES.You can sometimes tell by the eyes. Usually the girls eyes are reddish in color and the males is a blackish in color. If that isn't true then ask a pet store owner what one has had babies, also called pups. They should give an answer on what one has. Don't try to figure it out yourself. Another way to tell is by color. The male will be darker in color and the female will be lighter in color. I have 2 gerbils. The female is white with red eyes and the male is dark brown with black eyes. Those are 2 ways that I know of. If my answers don't hold true then check out a book about gerbils and it should give descriptions on them. It also depends on what breed of gerbil you have to though.

Given that gerbils reproduce sexually, as do all mammals and indeed most animals... won't the male have a penis, albeit usually concealed by fur? It is better though, unless you have a lot of experience in handling small animals, to ask an expert such as the breeder or a vet, as the first answer advises.

Like if you intruduce a baby gerbil to a female and a male gerbil they might be nice to him but the male gerbil might play fight or fight in the cage i do not think if you leave the baby gerbil in the same cage with the male gerbil or a female gerbil the female gerbil migt fight or play fight with the baby gerbil if u do please be real care full because if the male gerbil no that the babby gerbil if its a baby girl gerbil yhey will mate or if u do the same with the adult female gerbil they mate to with a baby boy gerbil or adult gerbil will mate to and also mate means that the female gerbil have babbies with the male gerbils .
