Place your hand (slowly) into the cage and allow the gerbil to approach you...let it sniff your hand and when it is relax, slowly lift it from the cage. Don't try to grab it from above, as this is how their preditors attack them. Place your hand in the cage often and they will get used to it. Also a little food (sunflower seeds or the like) placed in the palm of the hand will make them more curious.
