Which gerbils should be introduced

Introducing gerbils-  which gerbils should be introduced


There are some gerbils that simply shouldn't be introduced to each other,  as depending on age,  gender,  and number,  some match-ups just won't work and are risky.
Here I have made three lists.  The first is what gerbils cannot be introduced.  The second,  which gerbils can.  And finally,  which of the gerbils that can be introduced are easiest.

Which gerbils cannot be introduced.

• Two or more adults to one pup or adult.
• Male and female gerbils that you do not want to breed.
• A pair/group of gerbils to another pair/group of gerbils.
• Multiple males to one female. (Should not live together either)
• Multiple females to one male.  (Also should not live together)

Which gerbils can be introduced.

• Two pups to an adult.
• An adult to an adult.
• A pup to a pup.
• A male and female that you are fine with breeding. 

Which gerbils are easiest to introduce,  1 being the easiest.

1.  Two pups,  male or female.
2.   Two adults,  male is usually easier than female but not always.
3.   Two pups to an adult.
4.   A male to a female.

Keep in mind that the last list is speaking generally.  There is no way to guarantee that a supposed easy introduction will actually be easy,  it is just probable that it will be.  Also keep in mind that to some extent,  I'm going off of personal experience and what I've read,  not proven fact.  Such is the case with 4 -  for me,  introducing a male to a female was very difficult,  but for others it has been simple. 
You may have noticed I said that males are usually easier to introduce in 2.  This applies to all introductions in a way.  You see,  most people think that males are less territorial than females and therefore easier to introduce,  However,  my experience has been the opposite.  So though I mentioned it and you may see it elsewhere,  that is not necessarily true.
Also,  note that though it is not recommended and is unlikely to work,  two adults can be introduced to a pup.  I recently did such an introduction and it worked extremely well.
