I have had my gerbils for about 3 months, but they are still terrified of me, is there something i should do?

Nikole(Portland, 26 August 2019

When going to adopt some gerbils, my fiance and I had decided on getting a pair that were together in the pet store. When we went back, one had been adopted, so we only adopted one gerbil. A couple weeks after reading, doing research, etc...we decided we wanted to adopt another so our Cinder had a friend. We called ahead to ask some questions about introducing a new gerbil to ours after having her for about 2-3 weeks. He gave us some tips, said it should be fine. When going in the next day, a different employee scared us, saying they will just fight, most likely end up waking up to having a dead gerbil in our cage. Obviously, we decided against it, terrified our Cinder would end up dead in her cage. It's been about a month in a half now, and I keep reading that they get lonely by themselves, but am so terrified of one dying or that we waited to long because of what that employee said, I don't know what to do!!! I really want our gerbil to have a friend, and am not sure what the next step is! Any help would be appreciated.

One of my gerbils keep on biting one of the others. What should I do? There is no blood(I think). But there is hAir loss.
