I bought my gerbils from the petstore, and was told that I had 3 females.
Unfortunately, I only got 1 female. About a month after I bought them, I
saw the mounting behavoir, and then, 25 days later, I get my pretty babies.
Now, I've carefully sexed them, but, my females sometimes mount each other,
like yours do. I suppose it's just normal behavior, since I'm positive
they are females, and, no babies have appeared. I guess it's just their
hormones or something.
