So far I have not had many gerbil pups or deaths where I was able to retrieve enough of the pup to do anything with it other than throw it. I know, baby death is the hardest to figure out, period. I try to share what I do know when I can with the rest of the forum; and I will continue to do so. As for a harder core technical based medical information site, I would feel much better if someone with proper medical training, skills, and knowledge were to undertake such a thing. It is something sorely lacking in our hobby, and greatly needed. Deb Rebel's Rodent Ranch
