well, usually if you pick the gerbil up, you can feel in its stomach things that feel like small potatoes. the gerbil will obviously be larger.
You put her in with a male gerbil.
28 days
yes rarely but much of the time with 2 similar breeds they can get each other pregnant.
It might be a couple of days late, or maybe it's not actually pregnant. If you are completely sure your gerbil is pregnant and should have given birth a while ago try going to the vets.
Put it with a male gerbil and have no other gerbils except them two they will become friends and may have interest in the other gerbil. Hope this info helped!!!!
It would be best to change the litter before the gerbil gives birth so changing the cage while the gerbil is pregnant is fine. Also beneficial to the new Born's.
Sorry - that's not possible ! If you bought your gerbil from a pet store - chances are it had contact with a male before you got it.
I would say there is a small chance two female gerbils could get each other pregnant.
Keep her in a quiet dark place.
Yes but the little condoms are very expensive and hard to get on them.
At about 18 days, you can put her on your hand, if it brushes against you she is probably pregnant, if not she is dangerously fat-but it's more likely that she is pregnant :) Also the nipples will become more prominant Usually, at around 20+ days she will go a kind of pear shape Sometimes, not all the time, people say their gerbils go "lumpy" on the day before giving birth. These are all signs, if yoru gerbil has any of these signs she is probably pregnant.
There are visible signs of your gerbil being pregnant such as: wide stomach area (visible when they stand on hind legs) Sluggish behavior Easting/ weight gain visible nipples on belly Also you can feel the gerbils stomach and sides when handling
