Males are typically calmer and less territorial than female gerbils. But with any gerbil, if it is not already a cagemate or sibling, it must be introduced properly through a split-cage method. You can find many examples of how to do this at:

Will two boy gerbils fight together in a cage?

two boy gerbils should not fight, aslong as they knew each other form since they were pups. if not, use the split cage method and you should be fine. if you leave some old bedding in the cage when you clean it out gerbils are less likely to fight. girl gerbils are more dominent so boys are less likely to fight then girls. always keep a pair of gerbils, or they will get depressed. some gerbils do like to live alone, but this is uncommon.

How can you tell if gerbils are being mean to each other?

If there's any biting or wounds then they need to be separated. Gerbils play fight by doing a high-five type motion with their front paws while up on their hind legs. They also roll around and pin each other down sometimes. The only way to ensure that your gerbils are suitable roommates is to make sure they are siblings. Only a reputable breeder can guarantee that. If you are introducing 2 gerbils for the first time you need to do a split cage method to let them get used to each other.

# Put a see through separator in their cage with one gerbil on each side # switch them twice daily so they can get used to each other's scent # Let them run around together in an open space # If one is aggressive put them in the separator again # Finally you can take out the separator and see how they react to each other # # Give them treats when they look at each other and show no aggressive behavior
