This is one of the reasons I like Cavies (Guinea Pigs). The young are born furred and with their eyes open. They look like mini-adults and will fend for themselves within minutes of birth if need be. And most Cavy parents are really good (during the one pregnancy and before the birth we had, Papa was neutered). All four, along with the 2 parents got along tremendously. The one baby followed Papa everywhere, and even tried solid food within minutes of her birth (she was called "Daddy's Little Cinnamon Girl").

Reply 13 years ago
no actually the female was killing them not the male because the male was mating with her and she got stressed out and killed them one by one.

Cute, if they die, canida has a great instructable about taxidermy on mice, I'm sure you could substitute. My brother had a gerbil a long looong time ago. Oh, and I read that if you place a couple of male gerbils (though I'm sure with about any species this is true) together in a cage, eventually they can't control their "need" and resort to relieving their "need" with another male.

Watch the opulation density - too high, and canibalism ensues. I remember in junior school, we had a big tank of gerbils in the entry hall. They had lots of babies, then a couple of days later we all filed in at the start of the day past a tank containing just one gerbil. One very fat gerbil...

Reply 13 years ago
thats so sad but to save them what you do is leave them alone and then the mother wont eat them and you should always always always take out the father aka palpitine

Gerbils (and other rodents) tend to eat their young if they're nervous/scared/neurotic or just too young/inexperienced as parents. Ways to keep them happy and non-cannibalistic: give them places to hide and things to shred. Give them additional food to hoard, and adequate space to call their own territory. They're very sensitive to smell, so anything that says "predator" can potentially freak them out- dogs in their cage would be a biggie. I've seen hamster populations go berserk and cannibalize their young when someone wears perfume/cologne with musk- it's taken from rodent-predatory species. They like home-cage odor, so a bedding change will leave them upset for a while as well. When you do change the bedding, make sure to leave a handful of the old stuff spread around to keep them from getting too freaked out, and don't change bedding while they've got pups.
