Speaking about squeezed by kids, my gerbils really kena tortured by the kids that went to visit my gf's house duing CNY. Now my gerbil skinny like stick, have to pump them over again.

yea my dads fren's daugther who came to visit also tortured my gerbil...haha... hopefully got over the trauma adi

my gerbils got totured by kids over CNY too!

my gerbil i think safe with crazymouse... how's my gerbils hun? hehe

Why do ppl say male make better pet? Gerbils gender have diff character?

In the world of gerbil, female plays the leader role in the colony. So when females want to be the leader of the the colony, they'll start fighting over that place and lead to death. Males on the other hand is easily introduced but when they feel threatened by other gerbils, they'll start fighting too.

in terms of pet...gender is not really an issue. in fact my females are tamer to humans than my males. however females are fiercer to each other..haha

long time din come in liao
my gf gerbil now is like football team but luckily sell some already
if not cant afford to feed them

btw, anyone kena gerbil bite b4?
me so far so good

Very safe heheheh... this year not many kids so I didn't let them handle any gerbils so all nice and fat. Your DEH is way fatter and bigger than your agouti lah.... but very cute when they play wrestling and sleep with each other.

Yups, that is true. The females are very dominant, they will determin who is in and who is out of the colony... the alpha male will be dominated by the alpha female... but the dominant male will keep track of who mates with the alpha... normally the dominant male would not allow other matings with the alpha female...

Females and males all make good pets... it is just how you would have them only. Lets say if you want more than 2 gerbils but you want to purchase at different times, males would be better coz it is easier to introduce... females are a bit more aggressive towards new comers and they fight really badly too.... I have seen a few already...

Wah, long time no see you here. So how many litters have your gf's gerbils produced? You got keep any?

So far I also have not been bitten before.

heheh looks like many gerbils squeeze by children during CNY...
if my gerbils, they dont dare to touch la...my gerbils bite people hahaha..
btw i think the black one turn more fat..then she became more familiar with me i think..the agouti still not fat..i think since i got them, long time jugak..but both of them still like menyorok2 from me.. haiyaa..

question..
let say if i separate the pups from their mom into two differents tank (one for male, and another one for female), then when i want to put the females back with their mom after a few months, is it not easy for them to introduce?? or they will be fight??

Very high chance of fighting. This is why we need MANY tanks as a gerbil breeder and this is why we advice people to think twice before breeding.

ok.. thanks..
better not separate them la i think..

(hehe.. i dint breed her la.. i got her, and she is pregnent that time..
suddenly gave birth..)

Yah, I know hahaha... the previous owner mah.... well, what to do? Anyway, hope the babies are ok... just seperate the females with the mom and the males with the dad. So for you, 2 tanks is enough.

how do u know who's the alpha male&female?

Ok, some long awaited pictures heheheh.... my photobucket not working tonight... but load here lah...
