Hey everyone, They are approx 8 weeks old, as far as we know... These pictures are not great, it was so hard to get them to stay still for two seconds...but hopefully someone can make an educated guess! (As you will notice, in the third picture, we caught a poop coming out at the exact moment of the flash, which wasn't ideal!) Thanks  Danielle GERBIL 1:  GERBIL 2:   |

I agree with Gerbilord, they look like boys?

Thanks everyone. I'm relieved that the consensus seems to be boys.
Was getting slightly worried that the smaller guy was a girl, since they recently started busily building a new nest at the other end of their tank! Was hoping to avoid unexpected Christmas babies!

Yeah, they appear to be boys. Don't worry about size; I have a healthy boy who's smaller than the smallest female I've ever had. He and his sister look like Bran and Hodor respectively. While rare, some gerbils will also seek out different places to sleep from time to time.
When it comes to sexing, only trust visual inspection.

I like the GoT names , or is that not their names?? Sadly no, their names are Wiggly and Digger. I was directly comparing them to Bran and Hodor because the size difference is that severe |
