The mother gerbil will be pregnant for about 3 weeks-1 month. Then she will have 3-10 babies. Separate the mother and the father when the mother is about to give birth. Telling if a mother gerbil is pregnant is pretty simple. In the beginning you will not be able to tell but after about 1-2 weeks you will see that she will get pretty bulky near her stomach but if you still can really tell then you can do the simple hand test. In the hand test all you have to do is gently put her on the palm of your hand and if her stomach lightly brushes the palm of your hand than she is pregnant.
