Yep. My wife and I had pet gerbils many years ago. Two females, one male. Make sure they have plenty of room, plenty of bedding material, and plenty of food/water, just like normal. You may notice that one female gerbil will take care of the other's babies sometimes. We noticed this several times with ours. Do be aware that whether you separate them or not, sometimes a mother gerbil may kill/eat some of her babies. There may be no apparent reason, either, and it won't matter if she is alone or with the other mother gerbil. (They are rodents, and sometimes rodents do this) It happened twice with ours...but that was after MANY litters and may have had something to do with the sheer size of the litters they were having the last couple times we allowed them to breed. Try not to disturb them much until the babies are getting out and about on their own. (They're cute little buggers, too!)
