Hi List !

My 3 gerbils are now 5 1/2 weeks old and they're doing great in the tank.
They come and walk up to my shoulder, sit there, explore my neck etc. ! Lol,
it's good fun seeing the 3 of them "queuing" to go on my arm!
However...I am very suspiscious about one of the "male" and wonder if it
might be a female! I can't really sex them but this one seems to have a
different "butt" than the other two :-))
(s)he's also the tamest of the 3 and I certainly don't want to get rid of
him, her,,??? BUT I don't want any pups either, so I wondered if it is
possible to neuter gerbils and if so how soon can it be done ? Is it very
risky (I'd hate myself if anything happened to them) ? Would it be better to
do the 2 males or the 1 female (if it is indeed a female!) ?
I never thought I'd be besotted like this with gerbils !!! lol! But they are
so cute and funny!

TIA
Catherine
