To be honest, if you just buy 2 gerbils, boy and girl, then it is unpredictable to know when they mate. They could mate anytime. :D
Only if you introduce a female to them. 2 males on their own will not mate
dont it is a breech of their human rights
Gerbils are normally better with a mate or in packs. Some even say they have a longer life span.
Yes. Inbreeding will cause fixed wrists, kinky tails, etc. Do NOT let them mate!
They mate in May
Gerbils can have a litter about every 5 weeks. Gerbils mate right after the birth of a litter, and the mother can prolong the pregnancy to up to 40 days if she is nursing. A gerbil will produce about 4-5 pups on average per litter, but can have up to 12! With about 10 litters per year with no break, that means about 50 gerbil pups a year! They are rather prolific breeders. :]
nobody who isn't a gerbil specialist knows. consult an expert. :)
they mate at the age of nine months
Food, water, space to run around, burrow and stand up, a friend/mate and things to gnaw on.
No. Two totally different species. In fact, the gerbil will kill the mouse. They shouldn't be housed together.
can mate every 3-4 months, BUT IT ISN'T AS SAFE AS 4-6 MONTHS!!!!!!! :)
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. =)
