In general, it is better to have two guinea pigs than one because these are social animals that normally form communities in the wild (yes, there are wild guinea pigs). However, it is important to ensure that they are either the same gender (two boys or two girls) or that you have one or both neutered so that you don't go from having two guinea pigs to having a dozen.
It is better to get 2 gerbils because getting one get lead to it getting lonely unless you spend 13 hour per day with it. If you get two you only have to spend 15 minutes a day with both of them. Hope this helped!

Two Pianos Are Better Than One was created in 1994.
many animals especially gerbils enjoy company of their own kind and if you don't want baby gerbils the same sex keeps that from happening.
Two pies are better than one pie!
One is lonly, two has company.
Two blankets are better than one, because they provide more warmth, shelter, etc.
They are more helpful than harmful. My two gerbils are both helpful. They've helped me in many ways and so that's why I say they're more of helpful than harmful.
Two cooks are better than one because you can then get more things done at one time. (But of course you would need space for that) :-)
The plural of gerbil is gerbils, as in: I have two gerbils. Hope this is useful.
As with most mammals, two, a male and a female
No, gerbils are definitely social animals, but they are territorial. Gerbils get depressed if alone, and may even become aggressive. It is best to keep gerbils in same-sex pairs, this way they have one buddy, and there is no chance of declanning, which can happen with groups of gerbils mroe than two.
