Rule
of thumb, if the anus and the urinary opening are more than 5 - 6mm they're
probably male, but it varies depending on age. If you have a female to
compare to it's a lot easier.

These are our first three and they were purchased
at the pet store which assured us they were males, and about 10 weeks old at
(Christmas time).
Last night we did some checking, but quite
honestly I can't tell the difference given the pictures in the book.
They look the same to me. Is there some definite, tell-tale trick to
sexing these little guys?

What are there ages? And are they all from the same
litter or different ones? Are you sure that the "odd" one is infact a
girlrather then a boy? -Dani
Hello,
I have recently begun my gerbil clan. I
have 3 males, and I am new at this so I am hoping to a learn a lot
here.
Initially, I am wondering about the
relationships of the 3. I think I have established who is the lead
male, but we also have one who always seems to do his own thing, stays off
by himself (they all sleep together) and he is extremely difficult to
spend any physical time with (impossible to catch!) The other 2 are
together most of the time, one grooms the other predominantly and once in
awhile there is a small quarrel over food. But basically, they seem
ok.
Any thoughts and/or ideas? Why is the
one seeming ostracized?
Thank you,
Tasha
