It doesn't really matter. Research has shown that males are more relaxed together and that females tend to fight occasionally, but that is not a problem for me. I have thee female gerbils and they're perfectly fine about each other. So it doesn't really matter what gender you choose...
What else can I help you with?
Can gerbils get fixed?
Male gerbils can be neutered, but it is not recomended. Female gerbils should not be spayed. In general male gerbils should not be neutered unless there is a good reason for it.
Can male gerbils nurse their babies?
um no, only female gerbils can
Are gerbils male?
...You are kidding, right? Gerbils are mammals; some of them are male, and some are, well, female. They reproduce the way mammals do.
Will the male gerbil eat the female gerbil and the baby gerbils?
no male gerbils are very caring so dont split them up
Can a older male gerbil get a younger female gerbil pregnet?
Yes. Male gerbils, no matter how old they are, can impregnate female gerbils. Most female gerbils can no longer conceive after 2 years of age. Either way, it's never wise to put a male and female together unless you intend to breed and provide for several litters. Gerbils are not easy to find homes for.
Are there pictures of male gerbils so we can tell the difference from the female?
yes. A male will have a black bum
Do female gerbils have periods?
Gerbils go into heat ever 4 day. There are no outward signs that they are in heat, unless a male is in the tank (in which the male will attempt to mate with her)
How do gerbils breed?
Gerbils are mammals and breed sexually. The male approaches and mounts the female from the rear. The female remains positioned on all four legs, while the male balances on his back legs, resting his upper body on the female's pelvis.
How do you tell the difference between a male and female gerbil?
male gerbils have a small slitt in their stomack and femals dont
How many gerbils are there in one breeding pair?
As with most mammals, two, a male and a female
Can male gerbils mate?
Only if you introduce a female to them. 2 males on their own will not mate
How do gerbils mate?
It's really quite self explainatory. Get younger gerbils, a male and a female. Make sure they aren't from the same litter, if they are the babies could have health problems. If they are younger, introducing them to one another should be a peice of cake, if not use the slipt-cage method. They should mate, and about 21 days later, you will have a litter of gerbils. =)
