I have also kept gerbils in plastic cages temporarily sometimes and it's always been fine, but there is a risk, and once they've chewed enough that they can smell the outside world, they will definitely chew out completely.

I look forward to seeing your new gerbils!

Oh my I didn't know that was you! Bless you for being so patient with my silly questions!
