The time to hold them is when their eyes open, from days 17-21. If you don't, the parents will smell your scent on them and they will kill and eat the babies. On the other hand, if you have had your gerbils for over 6 months and they are used to you, then it's fine to hold them a little earlier.

What happens to a baby gerbil when its born?
When a baby gerbil is born, it is typically born blind, hairless, and helpless, relying entirely on its mother for warmth and nourishment. Within a few days, it begins to develop fur and open its eyes, gradually gaining mobility. The mother gerbil will nurse and care for the pups, providing them with the necessary nutrients until they are old enough to start eating solid food and exploring their environment. By about three weeks, the baby gerbils start to become more independent and may begin to venture outside the nest.
