Hi Sarah, This is Don in Clearview :o) I'm very sorry to hear about your pups :o( I don't know if that has anything to do with separating the parents at birth, but the same thing happened to us last month when we separated the parents at birth so the female wouldn't get pregnant so soon. At just under two weeks the pups started all dying off and by three weeks all 6 were gone!!! I kinda thought that the female seemed a little depressed and didn't take as good care of them as she did in her other litters :o( Thanks for letting me know about Cathy in Idaho, she is shipping me two young, ready to breed gerbs today that she even took care of introducing them for us before shipping them, I thought that was quite nice of her to do that :o) Thanks again and I wish I had a better answer to what happened to your pups, but I hope it just gave you something to think about anyway.
