Gerbils were brought to the U.S. in the 1970's. There were only about 8 pairs for mating. All of the gerbils in the U.S. today are the offspring of those 8 pairs. Talk about inbreeding! There is a company called Charles River Labs here in the U.S. that may import wild ones to breed but I doubt it.
The best gerbil you could get would be in the wild in Mongolia where they originate but they wouldn't be very tame. Charles River Labs would have the next best supply because they breed them in very sterile environments while breeding them as far away from close genetic links as possible. Don't bother them. They do not sell to private individuals.
