One needs to purchase a good quality gerbil mix such as Pets at Home muesli in order to keep gerbils as pets. One should also purchase gnawing toys which are an essential part of gerbils dental routines.
I would say that is a tie. They both need to keep their teeth trimmed. If you have any more questions on gerbils visit my site, www.freewebs.com/gerbils1234
Yes. But NEVER use pine or ceder bedding it can kill them, same with mice.
Gerbils need exercise, as does any lifeform, to maintain a healthy life. The best way to do this is to provide a wheel in their cage. Many gerbils love a wheel! A fun way to add exercise may be to purchase a small rodent ball, and allow your gerbil some free roaming time in a safe area (i.e. away from other pets, stairs, electricity, etc.).
Gerbils need a water bottle with a sipper tube for proper hydration.

Yes, you do not need to present identification in order to purchase a bus ticket.
Yes, they will become lonely and depressed if they don't have another gerbil. You usually buy gerbils in pairs to stop this problem. However it is very dangerous to introduce two gerbils who have never met before. They can often end up killing each other. As when you buy them in pairs they are siblings. And have been together since a young age.
The same thing happened to me, I bought 2 female gerbils from the pet store and then found babies in the cage one morning. Check online pictures of male and female gerbil genitalia so you can determine which one is the male. You need to put the male in a separate cage or they will keep mating and making more babies. Gerbils mate again right after the babies are born, so you might end up with another litter even after you separate them. Keep them separate unless you want to breed them, or you will end up with a ton of gerbils! Here's a link to find pics of the gerbils genitalia: http://www.gerbils.co.uk/gerbils/gender.htm

Baby gerbils need their mother's milk and should not be given anything but kitten replacement milk and only if something happens to the mother.
Gerbils don't need shots.
