Gerbils should not be sold at less than six weeks of age. Beware of anyone selling you one younger, as the gerbil will most likely not be easy to tame. A six-week-old gerbil pup can go for $3 up to $12, depending on who you go to. Large retail pet stores typically sell theirs for $10+, while breeders go for about $5-$10.
If you mean raising them, it isn't the gerbil pups that will be your expense, at least for three weeks. Momma gerbil, however, will be needing extra food and water, and the cage will need cleaned more often with 6+ gerbils running around in it. Gerbil pups will start eating food around 3 weeks of age, and then the food bowl will really need refilled! Major expenses will come around 6-8 weeks (whenever you decide to separate them) as you will need separate cages for female and male pups, and separate supplies such as water bottles and exercise wheels. However, raising lil gerbil pups is generally a sweet and rewarding experience, if you know what you are doing.

You think your gerbil may be sick her nose looks swollen and one of her eyes looks puffy what does this mean?
She might be allergic to the bedding. If you are using aspen bedding, this is probably it. Eco bedding will not make your gerbil have an allergic reaction. Still, I would consult with your vet to make sure.

Can a Gerbil have Sheep's wool for bedding please?
Wool fibers and commercially sold "fluff" is generally a bad idea for gerbils, as it may get caught around a leg or the gerbil may be allergic. If you want bedding for your gerbil, throw in a wad of unscented toilet paper. They'll tear this apart and build with it. :]

This is perfectly normal. They are trying to hide the gerbil from you and to keep them warm. Maybe leaving them alone would help.
