    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.

    Personally, I find that so wierd! I remember in Kindgergarten our gerbils kept mating, but the dad was very vicious to the gerbils! We had to remove him! Glad to hear he's being such a good daddy

    I like the name Munchkin (we use to have a hamster named that )
