We've successfully treated the ear infections so far (with
Antibiotics from the vet).
One was very severe, but Hendri has recovered, though he still
has a tilt leftover.

We've stopped breeding almost 2 years ago.
All the "babies" are getting to be 1 1/2 and older and just
recently the problems have started to appear.
24 gerbils is about the top limit for us <g>. We'll wait with
getting a breeding pair until we have more space and really hope,
our current ones will live long lives.
Thanks for the advice!
