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.
