l put together my gerbils yesterday after less than a week split and they quickly took on their roles as expected (one dom, one sub) and they instantly started grooming.

Good sign?

 

If the gerbils are grooming, was the split sucsessful

Yes, grooming is a very good sign. Just make sure they do not fight severely. Congrats!

Seems a good sign. As long as there is not any fighting i would not be worried. Rodents in general adapt well to a new companion, espiecally if they already know them. I would not be worried, all seems good! =]
