Sometimes you can direct introduce a young pup to a mature male; it depends on how gentle/nurturing he is. But wear gloves in case it doesn't work, as an adult gerbil can severely injure a pup in no time. Watch them closely until they are sleeping in the same nest, then they are clanned.
An easy "split cage" is a smaller wire cage inside of the larger tank. You can get these at Petco or Petsmart. I put the cage upside down if it has a plastic tray at the bottom, otherwise the outside gerbil gnaws that up very quickly.
