How big should a cage for 3 gerbils be?
For three gerbils, the cage should ideally be at least 24 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 12 inches high. A larger space, such as 30 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 18 inches high, is even better to allow for more enrichment and movement. Ensure the cage has good ventilation, solid floors, and horizontal bars for climbing. Providing ample space helps reduce stress and promotes a healthier environment for your gerbils.

Can you put two female gerbils that are not sisters in the same cage?
It can be dangerous if two female gerbils are introduced. The split-cage method should be used and the females should be young. The split-cage method isn't always guaranteed to work, but if you're patient it is possible that the two can get along.

Could I use a gerbil split cage method for 3 gerbils?
I would not recommend it for two main reasons. If you already have an established pair who have been living together for a long time you shouldn't attempt to introduce another gerbil, this will result in the pair 'ganging up' on the single gerbil, fighting him, injuring him and this may lead to his death. Even when using the split cage you should never attempt this. Secondly if you do have three unknown gerbils the since the split cage requires equal exposure and living space for all the gerbils it would be hard to build a cage like this, I'm picturing some kind of triangular or circular with sections cut out, which is quite frankly awkward. As well as this you may find that two of the gerbils pair whilst ignoring the other. When they are in a split cage as a pair they can give their full attention to each other but in a three it would be very risky. I would suggest pairing two of your gerbils and adopting another for your other little guy. Please do not buy a single gerbil from a pet shop if they have an even number of gerbils. This is because you will be breaking up a pair to try and create another pair which might not even work and leaving a single gerbil on his own.
