The key to sexing pups at 6+ weeks is the ano-genital distance. Some of the males may develop more slowly, and not have visible testicle bulges at this point, so that's not a very reliable "tell". It's a lot like sexing adult gerbils, but the pups are a lot less likely to stay still! That's probably why there aren't any pictures to help at that age. Try looking at the pictures in the sticky for sexing adult gerbils: gerbilforum.proboards21.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=breeding&thread=2089

10 - 12 days is an excellent time for sexing by the nipple method. The results should be double checked around 5 weeks or so, but I find it very useful. At that age, you can see visible indents where the nipples are on females, and males will have much larger scent glands than females. Post some pics and we'll help you learn how to do it! (But please start a new thread. Adding to old threads like this means your pics may not be seen by everyone who might like to.)
