Males usually don't fight over the females, females fight over the
MALES! Females are the dominant sex in this species, so the males won't
fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is correct, In gerbil society Females retain breeding rights. The
males will fight for a different reason. If you have two adult males and
you add a female, this will upset the hierarchy. Thereby, causing
dominance issues between the males.
