THe father was with them for the night and i have removed him yesterday. I want to know would the mother be pregnate again because the father was there during birth and after birth? Can you please help! I do not know much and when i can clean the cage with the babys in it and what!!! please help! thnaks!

Answer 1

1) forget what she said

2) why did you take dad out?

3) I what you to tell everyone you know that you only take dad out if you don't what more pups, ( I am sick of saying it so males can make better mother than the females)

ok now there is not more you need do, mom dose the work just make sure that there is lots of water all the time as a nurse mother drinks a lot more. and lots of food that to!

don't clean the cage just right now let the pups become about 2 to 3 weeks old before cleaning as mom will try to put it back the way it was before she looks after the pups.

don't be frighten about moving the pup just wash your hands before and after. just put mom and pups in a box's with some bedding and clean! (at about 2 to 3 weeks old)

if dad was not taking out with about 5 hour of the pup birth (gerbils give birth early morning late night) there it most likey they are more pups on the way, if dad has just remove (within 24 hours) put him back in if you did take him out right away it not going to matter there's more pups on the way, and he will help mom,

If you more than 24 hours don't put him in or mum and dad will fight to the death. look up gerbil breeding before you try to put dad back after the pups have been remove at about 5 weeks old, don't sell at 5 weeks old what to 6 weeks old.

I answer this question from you five times don't keep asking the same question again and a again

Answer 2

leave the babies alone for a few weeks, don't touch them.. only clean around them add some fresh bedding for them to go on but leave the other there so u don't disturb them..(and food and clean water)i presume u have a sand bath in there?

they can be split from the parents at about 5 weeks. but pet shops will only take them in at 6 weeks .

Even tho you did take the father out of the cage you may want to keep a eye on the female because she is able to get pregnant as soon as she has her baby's. there are very sexually active pets.

good luck

you have know clue what the h**l you are talking about i didn't go to school to be a vet tech for 5 years for someone like you to tell me I'm wrong.
