If the gerbil mother is not staying on her pups long, she may be feeling stressed. If she leaves them to go scratch in the corner often, or if she is moving the nest a lot, this might be a sign of stress. If her tank is not wire, cover one side of it with a towel to give her some privacy. If it is wire, dim the lights in the room. Put a lamp light on one corner, not to close, just to barely warm up one side of the tank for mom. However, as long as the pups have milk beans in their tummies (if they are still that young), and are not dying off, it will be okay. Gerbil pups are pretty tough! If they are still younger than three days and you do not see milk beans, you may need to buy kitten replacement milk and feed them through an eyedropper three times a day.

What happens if hamster mom eats its pups?
If a hamster mom eats some of her pups, don't worry. It's natural. It means she doen't think she can handle all the pups so cuts down the numbers. If you don't give the mom enough to eat and drink, she will kill her pups and save them a long death of dehydration or starvation. Also, if you touch the pups, she might reject them, or eat them to protect them. It sounds wierd, but it's just nature.
Can you leave baby girbils in with both girbils?
If you mean can you leave mom and pop both in the tank with the babies, then yes. Dad gerbil will be "sent to the couch" for a few days while mom looks after the litter, but he will be welcomed back and start caring for the pups with mom. When your gerbils are at least six weeks old, you can then separate them from mom and dad and into their separate sexes.
