I collected some fuzzies today.. (Pics)

These little guys were all advertised on gumtree (by the same person)

The two female syrians (who were housed together!!!! ) are both pregnant, as is the female gerbil (blue one)

Just in case you were thinking i was being silly about the two female syrians living together......





Faaaaaaaaaaaaat belly (the most heavily pregnant)



How cute!!



They both had to share this little house



Now for the gerbils. They are a breeding pair, but i will seperate the male because i dont want her to have a second litter (the ginger one is the male)






They are now snuggled up asleep together

The syrians are now seperated. The most heavily pregnant one is in the middle of building a nest. I think the stress of being moved has sent her into labour. I can hear lots of squeeks!!!

Re: I collected some fuzzies today.. (Pics)

omg they are so cute! All of them!

How have those two syrians not killed each other?

Good luck to TDM with the gerbils

I can't really help on the breeding side of things but if there's anything you want to know about Gerbils, you know where I am

Re: I collected some fuzzies today.. (Pics)

The syrians only look like babies themselves

I reckon 3 months max, going by the size of them

The father of the two i have is also the father to the unborn babies (both litters)
If i get two-headed hammies... does anyone want any???

Apparently it's not so bad when breeding hamsters father to daughter or even son to mother, so they should be ok. It's usually sibling matings that can be more risky. I'd take a hammy if I wasn't miles away lol.

Hopefully, even with them being so young, they may be good mothers.
Many years ago now I had a hamster, same colour as your two, she was at least 10 weeks old and had a litter of 10 two days after I bought her home, she luckily gained my trust quickly and was a great mum.

Re: I collected some fuzzies today.. (Pics)

I have no idea what Sarah is on about, I have no gerbils, would you like to see pics of my new mice though Im not sure they are a breeding pair as they look the same to me down there, Im going to try to have a proper look tomorrow when theyve settled in.
