It doesn't really matter. Research has shown that males are more relaxed together and that females tend to fight occasionally, but that is not a problem for me. I have thee female gerbils and they're perfectly fine about each other. So it doesn't really matter what gender you choose...

Yes. Male gerbils, no matter how old they are, can impregnate female gerbils. Most female gerbils can no longer conceive after 2 years of age.

How do gerbils mate?

It's really quite self explainatory. Get younger gerbils, a male and a female. Make sure they aren't from the same litter, if they are the babies could have health problems. If they are younger, introducing them to one another should be a peice of cake, if not use the slipt-cage method. They should mate, and about 21 days later, you will have a litter of gerbils. =)
