I only have exerience with gerbils, from Hamster pretty much all i know is that they are solitary and nocturnal.
If you wanna go gerbil, DO NOT get a single one! Get at least two, but make sure you can sex them properly. Whether two males/two females shouldnt make a difference, so make sure their private parts look the same.
An aquarium instead of a cage is highly recommended. In a cage they will continuously chew on the bars, and/or throw stuff out when digging. In an aquarium, put loads of woodchips/hay/straw, some toilet paper tubes, as they love to build tunnels. If you have a gerbil proof area, let them out sometimes. Mine got so tame, they would run up my arm when i put it in the aquarium. I guess its because they knew they would be let outside. I never had to pick them up by the tail anymore.
