I know how many people who breed gerbils also include a pedigree.  I also do
so.  Listening to the list I hear that most people want boys.  Please don't
jump on my case, I know that girls are wanted also.  The thing is some
people want more than 2 gerbils living together and that can be done best
with males.

I know that a male gerbil who was in a litter of mostly girls will produce
mostly girls.

My idea:  Include in your pedigree how many girls and how many boys were in
the litter with any male being bought for breeding.  I my litters I have
always mostly had girls and I always wanted a group of maybe 5 boys, but
never had that many males at one time.

What does everyone think?
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I just wanted to add this little tid-bit:  I have recently been introduced
to the world of guinea pigs as I own a female.  I have found out that in
guinea pigs the females are easier to keep together b/c the males fight a
lot.  As with gerbil females, male guinea pig have ot be introduced as young
as possible.

Hope everyone is doing okay!
