K this is getting stupid now. The gerbils don't seem to care. They all sleep together with the pups on top and underneath everyone.. it's so cute. But there is 11 of them in this stupid little container. The adults of course can go in and out..
When the mother is feeding them, she looks so uncomfortable..she can't spread out and lay on her side because of the other 3.. But she doesn't seem to care. She seems to put up with it and she enjoys the company.
The pups are 2 weeks old now.. Starting to crawl around more. They run back and forth in that stupid thing. So what's going to happen as they keep getting bigger? Less room and more stupidity? lol. They're so crammed in that thing. But if I put them in the tank with a house or something. they're going to do the same exact thing.. But atleast the pups can leave the nest and walk around and they won't get STEPPED on as much.. Since the older sisters like to jump on them and step on them to get through the tubes..
It's just starting to look retarded now. I want to get rid of the tubes because I'm sick of washing the pissy things. But if they seem happy.. do ya think I should just leave them there? I just don't understand how this is going to work..they're not going to be able to get through those tubes untill they're like 5 weeks old.. Gonna be hard during weaning too unless the mother plans on bringing them food.
It's kind of like a burrow though so maybe it would work..lol.
