Yes they will. Hamsters and gerbils are solitary creatures and they wil fight if they feel that someone else is in their territory.

I bought what i thought were 2 female gerbils but now they have started mating what should i do?
The same thing happened to me, I bought 2 female gerbils from the pet store and then found babies in the cage one morning. Check online pictures of male and female gerbil genitalia so you can determine which one is the male. You need to put the male in a separate cage or they will keep mating and making more babies. Gerbils mate again right after the babies are born, so you might end up with another litter even after you separate them. Keep them separate unless you want to breed them, or you will end up with a ton of gerbils! Here's a link to find pics of the gerbils genitalia: http://www.gerbils.co.uk/gerbils/gender.htm

Males are typically calmer and less territorial than female gerbils. But with any gerbil, if it is not already a cagemate or sibling, it must be introduced properly through a split-cage method.
