Ashly hasn't had her pups. It is day 48. What is the time frame for gestation? Are you sure on the conception date? It could be that she had a litter and destroyed it, or she just got chunky and may now recently have been inpregnated and be nearing the end of a normal gestation period

Timbit?

I woke up this morning and found Timbit to be puffy/fat/swollen? He seemed A LOT bigger and I'm wondering is this normal? Am I feeding him too much, is him sick or maybe Timbit is a girl and there is babies on the way!?!? He seems tired and his eyes are most of the time half closed.

I think both of my gerbils have black eyes but under some lighting it looks like they have red or ruby eyes. I don't know there parents genetics but is there any really good way to find out the color excepted just looking. Thanks in advance, Wee

Well the thing is the Timbit was supposed to be a boy but even on the form of the pet store said that there is no guaranty of sex so he may be a she. It did seem to have suddenly but maybe I just didn't notice in till now. He seems very fluffy (or fat I can't tell) but his fur isn't dull or

He (she) doesn't seem to have and he seems to be quite a bit fatter then before but he also fluffs up his fur then return to normal? He does this over and over and it's quite strange. When I picked him up his fur was down and silky but when I put him down he made his hair seem to stand on end

Hello, someone said earlier that they gave their gerbils corn meal to bathe in, instead of chinchilla dust. Well I thought this sounded like a good idea so I tried it, but my gerbils just sit in the bowl and eat it, they don't roll like they do with sand! It's like they think it is just a big

My gerbil (a female) does this sometimes too. She sort of puffs up her fur and then looks much bigger, then a few days later she'll return to normal. I have no idea why though, and it has nothing to do with pregnancy because she is alone... --Jodie -Original Message- From: Little

It is possible her nose has become infected from the soreness and rubbing. I would continue keeping her on plain paper- it could take at least a week before seeing an improvement. You could also put a very thin application of neosporin on her nose to help healing. I emphasize thin because you

My female will do this as well. She will puff up and appear fluffy, or bigger. Has nothing to do with pregnancy either because she is alone. The only connection I can make is temperature. It seems she will do this mainly when it is a little cooler. Which kind of make sense, if you think about
