two boy gerbils should not fight, aslong as they knew each other form since they were pups. if not, use the split cage method and you should be fine. if you leave some old bedding in the cage when you clean it out gerbils are less likely to fight. girl gerbils are more dominent so boys are less likely to fight then girls. always keep a pair of gerbils, or they will get depressed. some gerbils do like to live alone, but this is uncommon.

Will male gerbils fight each other in the same cage?
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. You can find many examples of how to do this at: http://homepage.mac.com/kyleekay/tip-of-the-week/tip072003.html or http://www.twinsqueaks.com/split-tank.html Hope this helps.
Can you keep a male and female gerbil together and wil they mate a lot?
This is not reccomended. One time my sister looked after the school gerbils who were thought to be both female, during the summer holidays i saw one gerbil in a corner with a big blur of pink, i called my mum and we looked in the cage, only to find that she had given birth to a litter of 6 baby gerbils. This was dangerous to keep the boy gerbil in as he would eat the babies and both parents would attack each other, so we had to separate them. DO NOT TOUCH BABIES as the mother won't recognise their scent and will abandon them. So in response to your question, it is best to keep gerbils together, 2 females is a good combination as males fight over the alpha roll, but it is a bad decision to put a male and female together.

Should you get two boy or two girl gerbils?
Two girls wont fight and two boys won't fight. However, if you put more than two girls together this is more of a chance for a fight to break it. If you are planning to get a trio, i highly suggest all males.

Can gerbils live together?
Unfortunately not, both are very social creatures! If you have a gerbil in a cage with a rat they may fight or even kill each other. So please don't put them together it's not safe for the rat or the gerbil.
Why boy hamsters fight when their put together?

Do girl gerbils and boy gerbils get along?
Yes they get along, but should you put them together? NO, gerbils do well in groups, 3-4 for males and pairs for females. Females are the top in wild gerbil clans, and the head female will fight with other females to keep her place (so if daughter wants to see her boyfriend she got to leave), and males will fight to be the top male to get breeding rights with the female. Don't mix boys and girls together you will have a ton of babies that you can't find homes for, and possibly lead to inbreeding, and them winding up as snake food
