Are they really males?

[lottielou]

Hey there, 


so today I stopped off at the pet store to get some more gerbil food, and as usual I go round and look at all the animals. There was a male gerbil pair there and I noticed they had very visible testicles, something that my two boys don't have. It got me thinking, are my two really boys?! When I got them I checked as didn't want any unexpected litters but didn't worry as both looked the same so presumed the store were right in telling me they were boys. I know the images aren't clear, I had to put them in a glass jar to get the photos as I couldn't get them any other way, but I was wondering what everyone on here thought. Are my boys really boys?

Definitely girls.

Yep, absolutely girls. When I first got my very first pair of girls we were told they were males. After about a year of calling them he I learned how to sex gerbils and they were definitely girls. Once they reach maturity, it is very obvious who is a male and who is not.

I have had several female gerbils in the past but never male, I thought I would go for males for a change! It wasn't until I saw the male gerbils in the store that I realised mine look nothing like that and look more like the gerbils I have had in the past! Ah well, I don't think I'm going to change their names since I'm so attached and Albus knows her name as well so don't want to confuse her! wow is weird referring to them as her! I now have Albus and Severus the girls
