ME and my boyfriends gerbils are pregnant we thought they were all boys but turns out no there seperated, but the pups ae due in a few weeks

Good luck with all the babies.

I hope you have tanks ready for when the babies are ready to be separated from mums, sexed and put into boys/girls groups.
I'm sure you don't want even more babies!

Hope everything goes well I have recently been studying gerbil genetics as I may consider breeding hamsters or gerbils in the future when I have space, money, time etc but for now I'm sticking with studying as much about breeding as possible although it does get confusing

[Gazmo]

purple, we have cages sorted, and homes at the ready

and kirsty, thats great that you've been learning, congrats!

[icklemunch]

[Gazmo]

maybe one or two we have 4, one and 2 boys, and the boy that turned out to be a pregnant girl. a bit worried about moving the girls in togeter after becuase the one we knew was a girl killed her sister..

Any female babies that arrive can safely stay with their mother. Any baby males can stay as a brotherly group or in pairs. They may even be introduced back to their dad as a single baby boy or more, but that would depend on his character and whether he`s a laid back lad or insecure and more likely to feel threatened by them. Many single adult males are very good with baby gerbils that are very young as they don`t see them as a territorial threat, but any male introductions are still best done using the split tank method just to be 100% safe.

I love gerbils. I kept them a while back and still miss keeping them. x
