 Gerbil questions

i got a gerbil from a local petstore.
they had a male and a female so i got the female and told them 2 order another female for me.
so i put her in a 20 long with carefresh bedding
i feed her mazuri hamster and gerbil food.(http://shop.mazuri.com/mazurihamstergerbildiet.aspx)

she has a snak shak (http://www.pet-dog-cat-supply-store.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-14783)

a toy barbell (https://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-24714)

a wheel

and a papertowl roll

at first she was in my basement which is about 68 degrees.she went into the corner and jus laid there for about 2hrs.she was wat looked like shivering so i took her upstairs and put a 50watt heat lamp on her. she went back 2 the corner but now she is sleeping.
do u think anything is wrong with her

is it ok 2 keep her single for a while.
wen i get the 2nd one i will use the split-screen method to introduce them

 Gerbil questions

she should be fine in just room temps you dont want to over heat her

and she is probably stressed from the move it can take animals a few days to a week to get used to a new home

also she is most likly pregnant so be ready for babies
