You can have up to three females in one tank. No more, though three risks an eventual battle of wills between two of the females, sometimes they can live in harmony.
Three males is the best bet. Males tend to get along better than females. Most gerbil care books have much misinformation. Most breeders are accurate. Many pet sotores are guilty of mis-sexing a gerbil and many new pet owners wind up with pups that way. Try and learn to sex them yourself or learn as much as you can about it, before going to a pet store. I will send you privately the New Gerbil People Links I just recently sent to the list. In case you weren't a member then yet. Jade --- Stephenie Hovland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi guys! I love reading your posts. Can I ask a > question?
