In my experience two females! Males tend to argue and fight more when kept in pairs or groups.

Thanx. On april 24 I will own two fat-tailed ladies.
I have a question.
Can i attach two tanks to eachother? One would be for the actual living (with bedding, food, water ...) The other one I would use for a 'desert' with bird sand ...

In theory it could! However, I've never tried it with fat-tailed gerbils. As they normally live alone, it might cause declanning. As they both might get their own territory! Some breeders also suggest small tanks to prevent declanning, but in my opinion too small is not good either. Mine live in large tanks (80x40 cm), and they do fine.

Isn't it best to keep them on their own ?

Yes, it is! I have two males living together for years and they do fine. But I had also some three females living together also some years now. However, today I had to seperate one female, because her ear was bitten off. Now I will keep her solitary. In order to prevent bite injuries, I will recommend to keep them solitary, alone.
