Can mice and gerbils breed?

Recently, I have noticed that there have been a lot of gerbils and mice myths about them being able to breed, and more and more are picking up on the so-called "good" idea about them living together. Mice and gerbils cannot breed because you need a very close species link for two different animals to breed. It is very very unlikely that a mouse and a gerbil would breed and then produce a hybrid, even though they are both rodents because as I said earlier, they are not close relatives in terms of breeding. So no, they cannot breed.
