Renee - Are you hearing clicking noises and are the babies fluffed up?
If so they may have a respiratory infection.
If you are using pine or cedar shavings remove it and use plain paper,
bathroom tissues and cardboard only for several weeks. Then use
Carefresh bedding or Aspen bedding.
Also, if you are in the United States you can buy Ornacycline bird
antibiotics and give the gerbils the same dose for canaries. If you
can't find this, then you can use Fish tetracycline which would be 250mg
mixed into 8 oz of water (Same as Ornacycline).
In Europe, you would have to get a perscription from the veternarian for
antibiotics.
