It is not recommended to introduce more gerbils to Thelma and Louise.
Females do best in groups of two. By trying to add more to the tank, fights
are likely to happen.
If you want more than two gerbils in a tank, I suggest getting a group of
males. They get along better. The easiest would be to buy three gerbils from
the same breeder than trying to introduce strange gerbils to each other.
