lol very busy these days... dying..

after all the discussion with babymoli and test test out. we suspect the ikea rack is not good for gerbils. ppl with that. please check if your gerbil chew on them.

guess i had told you 2 months only can seperate, feed more nutrition food for them. mum is lossing her nutrition.

gerbil don't do well in fresh, hope you can always remember the basic since you are breeding them.

go get some liquid multivitamin, get some animal milk, also some dog or cat kibbles and also the organic vege powder is always a good one.. she will need more protien.

cos since u didn't seperate the male once the female give birth, guess she may hv 2nd liter 30 days later, u better build up her body soon.

breeding cost money. if vit also u think its expensive, u shouldn't breed then. vit liquid is even a basic for keeping 2 same sex, means no breeding no extra gerbils. it means u don't even can affort a pair of gerbils needs, how u going to affort for more?

hand feed the baby with animal milk + vit liquid.

get a syring to syring in. feed abit then wait, feed abit again. feed drop by drop.

get animal milk ok not the milk human drink. that can kill him. why he is wet?

go get from a vet. straw is too big for them.. do it fast, the pup looks very weak.

he is too young to eat solid food and he canot eat much. get a syringe, feed liquid food.

u hv to see its a he or she. is she then ok with mum. but daddy canot put inside.

if he u hv to seperate no choice.

as often as u can.

aik sorry to hear that.

ok now what u can do it. mix the vit wait water, plus milk. for the mum. in her drinking bottle. but only make enoguht for her 1 day consume. so make everyday fresh one for her. u also can syringe feed the other pups. same time they will get use of human handling.

lol no one asking questions so no posting LOL.

finally someone interested in genetic huh?

like crazymouse say. urs can be 1 agouti n 1 nutmeg/ 1 serious stained agouti, a photo will help.

the white line under ur black pup's mouth is normal. and its black. he may have white band on his hand too.

DEH you will need Ee or ee with A- gene. lilac you will need pp gene, dove you will need ch with pp gene, argente A- pp gene.

if you really interested in genetic. read up abit from net. so easier to talk. heheh..

by the way, did u seperate the male? if not u will expect an other liter 3- - 45 days later. make sure u supplement your gerbil mum with protien and nutrition and calcium. also get ready to seperate them to other tanks 2 mths later, don't get inbreed involve.

ok flip your male n female fur, see whats their undercoat color?
agouti:

agouti = undercoat is grey, fur on their back is a mixture of bround and black fur.

nutmeg:

nutmeg = undercoat is orange, back is brown fur with black ticking. not mix color hair.

RE: my male has somethng under his belly, the unfur like skin??? is dat normal???
get a photos, hope its not tumor.

then ur 2nd liter comes, you male pup is about 1 mth plus, they are not ready to seperate from mum until 2 mths old. so you need to seperate the father out in 1 cage, once the 2nd liter pop, i mean immediately. cos they will make within 24 hours. and let the 1st liter boys meet their father everyday in father tank. but keep them most of the time with mum, until 2 mths old then u can move them to father tank. to let them meet their dad everyday, so the father will not forget his kid, they will forget each other if not meeting for 24 hours.

then those boys in 2nd liter, u either have to intro in with the dad another 2 mths later, or you have to get an other tank for them.

what bedding you are using? 1.5 week changing, shouldn't have stain.

NO WHEEL for gerbils, cos m'sia do not have safe wheel for gerbils.
i canot tell you where to get it cheapest, but i get all my stuff in pet shack sunway.

by the way what are u feeding your gerbils? oh the mum. mealworms are not enoguht for them. give her some dog or cat kibbles, supplement with multi-vit.

if only 1 black pup, its highly % you have 2 agouti adult. anyway pic will tell all.

lol Zara.. mostly inbreed. will no advice for that.

dont use the bedding with apple. they are not smelly. the perfume is nto good for them. use classic will do.

try to get on hold of prestige hamster mix. which is more quality good for them.

pet shack:
opposite of sunway pyramid, there is a McD or Yuan Steamboat, Pet Shack is just behind? between them.
