Re: newborn gerbil question

[Mary McDermott]

I think this is pretty normal because one of my pairs had a litter of 6 and
it was her first litter too, so what she did was nurse half the litter at one
time (while the other pups are in another nest) and later she will nurse the
other half.  I bet she did this because the litter was very big and she
didn't know how to nurse them all at once (since it was her first litter).
