If the human scent gets on the young gerbils too soon when their skin does not have any hair on them, the mothers will kill them because of the different scent.

I have about 5 Crittertrail hamster cages from my late hamster Is it okay to use them for 2 gerbils And how much do gerbils cost?

No, don't use crittertrail cages with gerbils. Unlike hamsters, gerbils are chewing machines. They can ingest the plastic which can kill them, and by chewing the plastic they can escape. I would use a 10 gallon tank instead. Gerbils cost around $10 each from a pet shop.

No. Cohabiting different types of rodents can result in the death of one or all of your pets. Rats kill mice, a behaviour known as muricide and gerbils and syrian hamsters are both extremely territorial and would kill any intruder.
