NO, it's not possible. Two entirely different species.

Wait - I took that to mean that you wanted to breed them. But did you mean just keep them together in the same enclosure? I am not sure about that, I don't think it would work.

No, the gerbils will kill the mice. I tried it once years ago with a gruesome outcome. Gerbils are very territorial

gerbils fight like pitbulls among themselves. How do you think they'd take to another species? not well. They'd probably end up killing the litter along with the adults.
