    They are fighting over territorial rights.

    Females are much more territorial than males.

    Either get a bigger cage or one less gerbil.

    purchase 2 adult males. adult males are not all freaky and territorial. the errors you made replaced into determining to purchase a girl particularly than a male after your first hamster. additionally, in case you may get the adult males to reproduce with the girls: toddler HAMSTERS.
