most good pet stores sell gerbils but if not then there are a few breeders that you can go to, I myself am breeder
no gerbils are not originally from the UK but instead from the deserts of Asia. But you can still buy gerbils in the UK
Gerbils that you buy in the store are typically Mongolian Gerbils and are from Mongolia (hense the name). They live in the deserts there.

To be honest, if you just buy 2 gerbils, boy and girl, then it is unpredictable to know when they mate. They could mate anytime. :D
Yes. But at pet store they should have a group of gerbils. Only buy a gerbil if both are from the same tank at Petsmart or Petco, or your local pet store. If your gerbils start fighting, take them back. WARNING: If you see a tank at a pet store contained of fighting gerbils, don't buy a pair.
feed them a little less and buy them an exercise wheel
You shouldn't wash gerbils with water. There's a special kind of dust/sand you can buy and keep in a bowl in their cage. They roll around in it and it keeps them clean.
Make sure that if you buy more than one that they are used to each other so that they don't fight
Gerbils love all stuff. They like nuts and dried fruit mainly. Also my Gerbils love Pumpkin Seeds they cant get enough of them!
No it's actually good for them, but you have to buy the hay, because normal hay might have parisites in them.
Other gerbils.
Gerbils are an animal and can not be "invented".
