... friend died (now he is 1 year and 4 months old apprx.). I got two more gerbils to keep him company (they are around 8-10 weeks old now) and after trying the split cage twice for a couple of times the older gerbil only gets along with one of them,. The other young gerbil gets very aggressive to the point that has made the old one bleed. I was wondering if it is a good idea to "share" the gerbil who gets along with both so none of them is lonely.

I was thinking also of moving the less aggressive one with the old one, as the other young gerbil seems very very active while the other two (the passive one and the old one) are both less active. This may help them too to keep themselves active as the other one finds way to entertain himself easily...


Thank you,
