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.

Are gerbils mammals?

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.
