November 23, 6 small babies was born

We got 2 male gerbil, we thought, on November the 23d, my boyfriend David found 6 small, naked gerbil babies in the cage. The adult gerbils names are Zero, a black gerbil with a white stripe under his nose and mouth, and Marvin is a siamese coloured gerbil. You can look up the colours at this site: http://home.wtal.de/ehr/gerbils/colors.htm
It turned out that Marvin isn't a male gerbil, she is a female and now a mother of 6 beutiful babies. I was in school when it happend, and around lunch time i got a text from my boyfriend that said "Our gerbil boys are not boys.."

The first two weeks after the birth we didn't see the babies much, cos the parents hide them in tunnels they've made in the bedding in the cage. But we could sometimes her them calling for their mother, and we did see them sometimes.


I'll write more about the babies another day.
