It is better to get 2 gerbils because getting one get lead to it getting lonely unless you spend 13 hour per day with it. If you get two you only have to spend 15 minutes a day with both of them.
Hope this helped!
They are social creatures and prefer the company of another gerbil.
Probably Gerbils, because they are indoor animals, and guinea pigs are fragile
Gerbils are normally better with a mate or in packs. Some even say they have a longer life span.
gerbils and hamsters
1 or 2 times a week
Gerbils originate in the outer desert regions of Mongolia. The Mongolian people do not eat gerbils. The average gerbil in captivity weighs about 2 and 1/2 ounces and ones in the wild are smaller so there wouldn't be a lot of meat.
Its just something they do to get to know eachother better, like a dog or cat.
No.They can only see to about 3 1/2 feet.
Only if they are in groups >2 gerbils, or with males. 2 males, 2 females, or 1 male and 1 female are fine. >3 males is a little risky, but generally ok. Other combos are dangerous unless they are all related. My 2 males are from the same litter of about 3
