How to introduce new gerbils to your old gerbils?

[Jade]

I have two gerbils that have been together for about 2 years. They've never had babies together either but they seem really close. I want to put a new gerbil in with them but we're not sure they would go together well. Please answer! Thank you

Wow, that person is mature!

You have to be careful, because gerbils will fight to the death. Try putting the cages side by side, to let them see and smell each other. Here is a good article I found... http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=18+1799&aid=1622
