Hi all - well what a surprise I had this morning,
Cookie my 5 week old "female" and Sooty her "Mother" have been living in a cage
on their own for about 3 weeks. I was going to take them to our local pet
store to see if i could match them up with a couple of males today. When I
checked on them this morning, 1 tiny little pup!!!I couldn't of been more
surprised if I'd found 10!! So I guess Cookie is a male after
all!
I don't hold out much hop efor this 1 small pup, I
don't understand why my gerbils have been having such tiny litters. Sooty
and her sibling Oreo have had 3 litters between them (not including this 1
pup) - 2 then 3 then 4, Cookie is the survivor of the last litter. I'm
going to change my bedding from now of though, see if this is the cause of the
litters dying. Does anyone use just shredded paper? Any other
suggestions? I'm using pine at the moment.
I'm going to get some kitty milk to see if I can
raise this pup myself. Do you think I should leave it for a day or
2?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
~Heather
