A heavily breathing gerbil could mean a respiratory infection. Is the fur puffed up? The eyes half-open? These are also signs. Make sure that you are using appropriate bedding and NOT cedar, pine, or any scented bedding, as these are the main causes of Allergies and respiratory infections in gerbils.

If the condition persists, contact your local vet.
