Question

when can you touch baby gerbils?

Answer 1

 hi, we have baby gerbils and i was wondering when we could hold them! They will be 6 days old on monday and we were wondering when we could touch them. We would like an answer from a gerbil breeder. We know that there eyes DONT have to be open and they dont have to eat solid food, so all of you who dont have EVER had gerbils or dont know anything about them should not answer. We would like serious answers not ones from Guest6559...

We really need help, this is our first time having the baby gerbils but we dont know if it was the mothers first.
