they are very easy to look after about £20 a month if you spoil them they dont fight they live better in a group and i would get a tank food saw dust bedding straw or hay and some toys
Gerbils can be kept even cheaper than £20. Including food, treats, toys and bedding, mine probably cost me about £10 a month at the most. The food and bedding last ages, and toys disappear fast, but you can get loads really cheap. Their main needs are gerbil food, water, bedding (preferably not straw or hay, one is bad for them, although i don't remember which), toilet roll tubes are a must for gerbils! they love them! If you don't have a gerbilarium for them (a tank with a cage on top) then a tank or a cage with a relitively deep bottom is good too. They need enough bedding to be able to dig in, and preferably curl up and sleep in, if your cage isn't deep enough, then something like a coconut shell is a perfect hiding place for them!

Do you have to wash your gerbil?

How do you tame your Gerbil?
My gerbil is prone to biting but I found out on the Internet that if your gerbil bites you don't drop it or do anything to it because it needs to learn that you are not there to hurt it but to care for it and love it. So you will need to hold your gerbil every day for at least ten minutes and it will start to gain your trust and become your best friend.

Your gerbil has has a spot of hair missing on his back is it bad?
Gerbil hair loss may be caused by many reasons. The gerbil's cage mate could be fighting him for dominance, and could've bitten there; you may have to watch them. Mites can cause hair loss, and that needs to be checked out immediately. Or the gerbil is simply bored and is over-grooming. Throw in an extra toy or something new!
