I bought a wooden house at pets at home and it appears to be made of pine. Is this safe?

Houses and other toys made from dried pine are fine for gerbils - well, they make up the majority of pet houses and toys for sale in most pet stores anyway, and I have used them myself for many years.
Some houses are glued with pet-safe glues and others are nailed - so watch out for them being exposed after some serious gerbil-chewing.
Plywood and any other man-made wooden materials are normally less used as anything other than solid wood is usually glued together and/or contains binding agent or other added chemicals for longevity - none of these are really good for your gerbils.
Hope that helps...
