Wow - I just joined and the list is 'ending' - but it's awesome to see everyone rally to the cause. Thanks to everyone for being there.. i've contemplated some gerbil aquisitions and groupings and the suggestions have been varied (personality diffs in gerbils???)but all so very welcome and helpful. Of course this info is from experience of real gerbils..as op to books that are written by who knows who with such vague generalities along with staunch viewpoints based on ..what??... where did i read how bleach even diluted can be really bad for gerbil glass but of course it's mentioned in a particularly fastidious book.. i can't believe the info passed to poor kids getting pet shop stock. You guys should all write books and articles and keep getting the word out. That is of course a big objective, and to promote gerbils as the a perfect rodent pet :)
I heard of a 4 gerbil clan .. with a female couple, sisters and a male/female couple. I am also curious about this combo for us here.. Question: has this worked for anyone and will the male only mate with the one? Perhaps when the female seems pregant they could be moved to the other side of an open-scent plexiglass wall then everyone divided as boys and girls up to about 4 on each side (35 gallon), new homes for the rest.
