Hi...I have a huge problem. Someone on this site said its best to have two gerbils togehter. Well i bought a baby gerbil about 3 weeks ago and he must have become territorial. Just today i bought a little black baby (my first gerbil studmuffin is tanish grey)and he is only old enough to leave his mother. I put him in the tank with studmuffin and studmuffin hoped on top of him and look like he didnt want him there. So I put studmuffin and all his fluff in a different tank and the new baby in studds old tank with all new fluff. The new baby looks really lonely now like he misses his family so now i have one territorial gerbil that i thought was lonely and one truly lonely baby gerbil HELP PLEASEE~

All gerbils are territorial. You did not introduce them properly and that is why they are fighting. You need to do the split cage method or try to introduce them on neutral ground like a bathtub. And if they get along in the tub then you can move them to a freshly cleaned cage that is free from either of the gerbil's scents.
