Welcome to the wonderful world of gerbils. Try not to
disturb the parents the first few days. They move the
pups around to keep them safe from danger.
If I see one separated from the pile, I move it to the
pup pile. Keep it close to the litter as it will
crawl right off your hand.
The pup with out the black eye spotch will be a ruby
eyed gerbil. The others will be black-eyed.
Enjoy your pups,
Donna
