Question
Hi

Thanks for getting back to me i also wanted to know if they will get along well since they came from another litter and are both 3 weeks old or will they fight later on down the road.
Thanks again
Erin

Answer
Well the thing is some people will put in pup from a different litter into another litter because the mom died and those pups get along well with the others. I really do think since they are being introduced at such a young age they will be okay. Make sure that you put both gerbils in the cage at the same time, that way there won't be any smells from another gerbil. It will be a fresh clean start. I can't say for sure they will or will not fight, nobody knows for certain so you just need to watch both of them.
