Hi Robyn, Could you describe your breeding set up in detail?
If you have multiple female breeding in one tank this a very stressful envirnment. Most often the females will attack the pups or other mothers. Spilt them out into two breeding tanks. Also, I like to keep my breeding tanks small and simple. 10 gallon tank with about two inches of bedding and some unscented toilet tissue. I give the parents cardboard bits when the pups are young, and no tubes or boxes until the pups are at least 3 weeks. In this way the parents are not distracted and the pups don't get lost. Best of luck, Donna ABC Gerbils www.abcgerbils.com --- Robyn Savini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have two pied gerbils Gus and Gertrude. They had > a litter in September and 4 out of 5 made it.
