The pups can be sexed straight after birth if you know what you are looking for. The females genital area will be closer to the anus then the males, but this can be hard to tell if your not totally sure. The females will develop nipples as the days go by, this is another good indicator of sex.

Feel free to post up some photos of the pups bum areas lol , we can try to help you sex them if you aren't sure.

pups are 2 weeks old today. there are 3 of them. all doing well. 2 brown with white around eyes 1 all black. havent handled them yet as we are afraid of anything going wrong. moved towel yesterday and mum and dad dont seem to mind us watching them. 1 brave pup even took a stroll around the tank looking for mum.

You need to start handling them asap in order for them to become tame

I handle them from day 1 so that they can get used to my smell before they open their eyes. Imagine opening your eyes and seeing a giant staring at you lol

please help me anyone. i have mum, female teenager (3 1/2 months and famale baby (2 months) in a gerbilarium. mum has started chasing teenager around cage trying to sniff her butt teenager if having none of it and running frantically around cage being chased by mum. Why? What can you suggest to stop it. Mum done the same about 4 weeks ago them things settled down. teenager terrified though and jumps out of cage at me when i open the door.
Had mum in ball for 3 hours today to give others peace but cant seperate them because of cost and lonliness. any suggestions please?
