Females often fight with their mother when they get to six months of
age. There is not much you can do about it other than to separate them
before they seriously injure one another.
One of my webpages, www.gerbils.co.uk/gerbils/fighting.htm discusses how
to watch out for potential conflict, how to avoid it, and what to do
once it breaks out.
