Gerbils <3 --- BREEDING ?! help.help.help.?

Question

I have several gerbils that I thought I correctly sexed OVER A YEAR AGO ... today 2/3 of my aquariums proved me wrong and I have 3 pregnant females, 2 of which have given birth...

Gerbils sexual maturity is 3-4 months of age.

Why did they wait so d**n long ?

I don't understand it...

and then for it to be synchronized really freaked me out..

Any ideas ?

Answer 1

Well whats wrong with baby gerbils? I&#039;ve had gerbils in the past that breeded and then they had like 6 babies. Just let the parents do their thing and don&#039;t disturb them. Once the babies mature up a little bit and become children you can bring them to a pet store and they can take care of the children (and you might get some cash back in your wallet).

Answer 2

you are a idiot for asking this question. anyone who knows anything about breeding, knows you shouldn&#039;t backyard breed.

don&#039;t do it.

have you heard of population explosion?

and its very cruel to put a male and female together to make one litter then separate them. gerbils create a life bond with their mate.
