Gerbil Update

Cute pics, never been a gerbil fan tho.

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?

[Jay_Bunny]

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)

Rats
Mice
Gerbils
Hamsters
Rabbits
Guinea Pig
Button Quail
Chicken
Superworms
Crickets
Feeder Fish

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.

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!
