uh oh possable preggers?

[cali]

hmm all the gerbils looked like girls but um they have grown up a lot and cindy is looking more and more like a boy! and um stubby who is definatly a girl is a whole oz bigger then the others, and looking a little tubby thing is I have no idea how young they were when we got them and gerbil sare extremly difficult i sex at a young age, so its very likley that cindy is goin gto be a daddy and stubby is going to be a mommy I am a former gerbil breeder so taking care of babys ect is no problem, but this was NOT on the agenda!

Why breed when you can rescue?

huh? what does that have to do with ANYTHING?

o wow!!! I had a very similar problem with Sage and her ex lover Jade. I got Sage first and I thought she was male, the pet guy said she was. So I went to the local pet store later on and got another male to house with her. and they ended up having babies, 3 babies, 2 survived. I wish you luck with your lil ones. . Since you are a formal gerbil breeder then good luck with the lil ones.

well it seems another clue to her being pregnant would be that when I attempted to reintroduce cinnamon to them, the first attemp before I weighed them and took note of the weight differace, was that first it was one on one woth stubby, and she got really protective and immedietly started fighting(they are fine) but I will need to find a new place to but her, probibly with sniffles, we dont want any fights now and i will need to do that soon, she is getting quit big so should be a mommy fairly soon.

A lot! Why bring more baby animals into the world when there is already to many neglected one????

I don't think she ment to breed her gerbils. She thought that both of her gerbils were girls, and then "Cindy" turned out to be a boy.

maybe you should read my post a little more closely then

I am a former gerbil breeder so taking care of babys ect is no problem, but this was NOT on the agenda!

first they are GERBILS near impossable to find in a petstore much less a shelter, and second this was NOT PLANNED.

dont ya hate it when your posts are read wrong?? .. I do ... .. I am sure these pups will have a happy life living with all the gerbils you have right now lol. it is really hard to sex male gerbils and female gerbils when they are young the genitals look very similar..

I bet they will we are going to be making new arangments, as the little boys guinea pig cage is build on top of 2 of our old gerbil cages, so there will be new arangments and some critters er rather(either gerbils of piggies) will move into my moms room, she said she wants critter in there!

[Heather Wallace]

You said you were fromer breeder, thats what I am refering to and I didn't read the post wrong!

Gerbils are hard to find in shelters and pet stores?
That's why that's ALL our SPCA has for small rodents for adoption.

maybe her petstores and shelters dont have them there, ever think of that Kayann?? . I know in my local shelter we never see birds and hardly ever see gerbils.
