Different Gerbils like to chew on different things but gnaw sticks are good for them

Yes.

Gerbils are enthusiastic chewers.

They will chew on practicaly anything but some things could choke and maybe kill them.

Toilet roll tubes are good for them as well as anything made out of that sort.

Do not give them painted cardboard.

Also in pet shops you can get wooden blocks designed for chewing and you can even get large chews for gerbils.

There is no set amount of time that gerbils need to chew but they do have to have chew toys available all the time otherwise there teeth will grow too much. They should have a variety of chew toys. You can buy shop chew toys made out of wood usually or you can use things around the house like paper (not newspaper) loo roll tubes and toilet paper. You can also use branches of wood like fruit tree branches but nothing with thrones. Make sure there is always something to chew on because gerbils can totally chew up a loo roll within hours.
