Pet gerbils are generally considered to be safe from hantavirus, as the virus is primarily associated with wild rodents like deer mice. While domesticated gerbils can carry other diseases, the risk of hantavirus transmission from pet gerbils to humans is extremely low. However, good hygiene and proper care should always be practiced when handling any pet rodent to minimize any health risks.
Gerbils can (and should) live with a gerbil friend or two of the same sex--that's it. No other animal is safe to live with a gerbil in the same cage or tank.

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.
