Gerbils can have a litter about every 5 weeks. Gerbils mate right after the birth of a litter, and the mother can prolong the pregnancy to up to 40 days if she is nursing. A gerbil will produce about 4-5 pups on average per litter, but can have up to 12! With about 10 litters per year with no break, that means about 50 gerbil pups a year! They are rather prolific breeders. :]
