I have had my gerbils for 3months and they are quite tame. Gerbils can live alone happily but then they can get very depressed, they have bad memory so it could be reintroduced after a couple of days as they would have forgotten what the fight was about but would still need a split cage intro. Alternately you could introduce a youngster, this is more likely to work.
They will need out of tank time but mine aren't fans of the ball. Plus they will need a good 9/10 inches of bedding =) they are lovely pets
As mousandstrawberry asked you can't reclaim once blood I'd shed, just seconding it =)
