I'm not really a gerbil fan either, but they are incredibly cute. And very expensive. Since I need to vary the ferrets' diet as much as possible, this seemed like a good food source, but since they were so expensive I opted to breed them myself.

Why gerbils over rats or mice to the ferrets?

Re: Gerbil Update
Variety provides them with a wide range of sources for nutrients. Gerbils have a different nutritional make up than rats just as rats have a different nutritional make up than mice. I will be feeding the following to my ferrets: (but I won't be breeding all of them just yet, especially the rabbits)

Gotcha. Thought you meant just Gerbils and nothing else. :)

Oh no, that wouldn't be very healthy for them. These little buggers are soooo cute. They should be opening their eyes this weekend. :) I'll take more pictures then.

Big fan of pictures. Keep posting, I've never seen a gerbil litter grow up before.

Re: Gerbil Update
I'm so excited. The solid gray one that I want to keep turned out to be a girl! Now I'll have to think of a name for her. I sexed the others and the gray and white is a boy, one or two of the black and whites are girls, I can't remember if I saw one or two, since I can't tell them apart yet. But they are all so adorable. I'll post pictures when I can. They are soooooo active!
