Aww! They are so cute.
Looks like 2 of them are going to have light colored eyes, and the other is going to have black eyes.
I'm not good at suggesting names, but I can't wait to see what they look like when they start getting fur.
yup, daddy has red eyes and mommy has black eyes. these 3 will be 2 red eyes and a black eye. the dark eyed one's skin is getting darker and darker as she gets older. we are hopeing she is a nutmeg, as the colour pattern of a nutmeg is they start bright pink and slowly get darker and darker till you would swear they are going to be black, then they do a total molt and wind up this bright gold colour, so far that is the pattern this gal is following lol.

Those are baby gerbils? Oh wow, I've never seen them before! When does the fur start to grow in? Do you have to remove the father from the area? How fascinating!
.
fur begins to come in around 9-12 days. daddy does not need to be removed, Gerbils mate for life. I dunno what would happen if we removed daddy as he is doing most of the parenting lol poor guy always looks so tired as he is taking care of the babies, AND taking care of there mommy! mommy is doing much aside of nursing.
