Actually...I can't do that.
I've lost track of who goes with who.
Because these gerbils suprised me. They act very civil. When the first litter
came in. All 3 Moms helped nurse. When each litter after came in, they helped
nurse all of them. They either split the piles into two, or nursed in shifts.
So I don't want to seperate them cause I don't know who's from what, that and I
ran out of cages...I have 11 in my room, and they're all occupied...
