Hello Everyone, We received the following information from our online form today and this is typical of the situation that many people find themselves in: "I have a problem and i would like to know what to do. I bought 2 gerbils for christmas. The lady said that they were boys. Well, they're not. one happened to be a girl. they started to breed and now it is like out of control. I now have 15 gerbils in one 10 gallon cage.and now she is pregnate again!! they can't live in there forever! I have a nother 10 gallon aquarium. I'm thinking about putting the guys in there but, i don't know if that is the right thing to do. Please help. thanx" We recently took some young Gerbils to our local store and we had separated them up into male and female groups. The pet store staff proceeded to change this into two new groups. Elizabeth, who took them to the store, said that she could not believe the way that the store staff were missing the clear identifications of male and female. The moral of the story is clear - learn how to determine the gender of your Gerbils yourselves and never trust pet store identifications of male and female Gerbils. All the very best....

We aim to promote the care and appreciation of these lovable Rodents. **************************************************************************** * GERBILS - Community http://www.gerbils.org/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro Have You Seen The GERBILS Web Cam? 18.30 - 20.30 GMT - Daily http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~gerbils/webcam/gerbil_cam.html **************************************************************************** *
