Default Lesser jerboa babies!!!

My female (Pepper) just gave birth last night!
Have not checked them yet, but if they do survive, I will update with pictures

The father (Oxnard) also became a father last month (12-8-2012) with another female

My other pair had one baby on January 1st, but sadly, it was born dead

Here's a picture of the proud parents!



The Mother!!!



The Father!!!

Because it's not allowed to post pictures of the baby with its eyes shut, I will NOT post pictures untill it is about 4-5 weeks old!

My guess is that they aren't part of the mouse family, but are are still closely related aka a small rodent.

Oh, they're beautiful! Their eyes are HUGE. I've had gerbils all my life, since I was 8 and I'm now retired. I never mated them. These babies are just womderful.
