The general rule is one gerbil needs 10 gallons plus 5 gallons for each additional gerbil. Such as 10 gallons for 1, 15 for 2, 20 for 3, 25 for 4, 30 for 5 etc. Anything smaller, and they WILL fight- sometimes to the death- for more room. Anything bigger, and you may find yourselves with an all out brawl with your gerbil group, since they would've split into two clans. It is recommended to use a fish tank with a mesh top or a reptile tank for your gerbils, as the chew through plastic and will escape the plastic and wire cages commonly sold for use with gerbils.
