I would advise against it, male gerbils occasionally eat offspring.
no the parents and babies could mate together and after a while you will need to separate the female babies from the male babies and posibley the mother and father as they will breed again. however you could keep the mother and the female babies together, but the males will need separating no the parents and babies could mate together and after a while you will need to separate the female babies from the male babies and posibley the mother and father as they will breed again. however you could keep the mother and the female babies together, but the males will need separating no the parents and babies could mate together and after a while you will need to separate the female babies from the male babies and posibley the mother and father as they will breed again. however you could keep the mother and the female babies together, but the males will need separating
i think its about 3 months. or 21 days. just keep him away from the mother and the babies so he wont impregnate her.
Usually. Unless you see fighting or dominance issues, it should be fine--the females from the first litter will usually help Mom take care of the new babies, and if they have their own litters in the future, the experience helps them to be better moms themselves.
yes i think so
Not the mother, but the father might try so keep him away! Have fun!
There is a possibility that the four week old babies would be interested in the new born pups but , ultimately the mother gerbil will protect the babies and keep them occupied. Also the pups usually sleep and maintain in a corner of a cage or tank.
Yes, you can after the pups are weaned (around 5 weeks of age). However, it is recommended not to keep more than 2 females together in one tank, and no more than 3 males in one tank, as gerbils can get territorial, even with daughters and litter mates after a while. However, if you have not yet separated mom and dad, the mother is probably already pregnant again, as the mother gerbil will mate again shortly after birth.
Yes you can as long as there is a fresh bedding and the cage was cleaned thoroughly
Yes, they can. But concerning the mother, don't keep them together. Only have the babies with the mother when milk feeding them. The mother might eat the babies.
New mother cat keep crying because she got babies. She wants to keep them closely always.
If a mother rabbit is rejecting her babies, you should try to keep the babies warm and fed. You can also consult a veterinarian or a wildlife rehabilitator for advice on how to care for the babies properly.
yes you can i have 1 gerbil by itself and its fine
