Well, sometimes females will do this "mounting" to get their scent on the
other gerbil. You knwo what I mean, like with their scent gland. They will
rub it on the other one, and that is like saying "you are mine". Hehe...do
you have a digital camera? I know this may sound gross, but if you would
like, take a pic of his "bottom" and I could sex him/her for you. :-)
