Usually if a gerbil is missing hair on it's paws, especially it's front ones, they lost the hair because they chewed it off, a behavior gerbils follow when their surroundings stay the same. Basically, when they get bored to death. If this is happening to your gerbil, try giving it more exercise with you and moving the things inside the cage around a bit.
