I think I made it!!🙈 I’ll post a link with the video and a photo with the Agouti pup (too cutie). Tokyo made a nest under the tent, maybe she likes it more than the house. One of the pup is like a spider, he jumps and runs so fast:)) Tokyo’s pups- 2 weeks and 6 days (almost three weeks😍) drive.google.com/file/d/1yXN7J6HHeq9VvweMNU8_Ny-djU6xrlRv/view?usp=drivesdkPhoto—- ibb.co/KyfkbyZ Oh yeah, and I also went yesterday to the pet store and the pup’s father was still there:(( I took him a photo, he’s like an Agouti mixed with honey? I forgot to answer you Markpd, Imgbb doesn’t take videos as links, don’t know why but I hope that google drive is a good option. Pups Father— ibb.co/d7NJQxZibb.co/njGjqvd

Hard to tell for sure, but it looks like dad is a nutmeg.

It's going to be really hard to sex them until they are 5-6 weeks old, when the testicles start getting obvious. The pictures are adorable, but I at least will not be able to help you with gender yet. You can get a pretty accurate guess around 7-10 days before the fur really starts coming in. Females will have pretty obvious nipple dimples on each side. But you can't go off of that 100%. I always check at 10 days and confirm at 5-6 weeks.

Thank you for posting the pics and the video. They've been truly lovely to watch grow, and it's nice to see Hazel's pups. It just shows how much they grow in a week!
With regards to the calendar. I make some up every year around Oct time when they are 40-50% off, if you get them on offer they're about £12-15 for an A3 calendar, but then you'd have postage on top of that (A4 will be cheaper). If people really do fancy one we ought to see about doing a pic competition for 12 photo's later in the year and I can always get them made up if people are able to send a good resolution photo through. Most phone pics are ok as I use my iPhone and have only had an issue on a couple of photo's taken when its dusk without flash.

Thank you for replying me:)) I’ll make another video today cause it seems it’s cuter. I’m still afraid about what I’m going to do with them, because in my country the gerbils aren’t that appreciated:(( I hope they’ll find a home.

Aw no, gerbils are the best! Maybe you can teach people how amazing they are Are you possibly going to keep any? Also, good idea with the calendar!

I’m still thinking Thea, keeping a girl for each of them or reunite Tokyo with Hazel and keep a boy and maybe buy another male? I’m not so sure yet, we’ll see. I wanted to ask you, what kind of fresh food do you feed your gerbils. I just prepared them some salad, red pepper, oat flakes, some seed mix, a little cheese, grapes and dried integral bread. Are these ingredients ok for them? I made a photo with their bowls. ibb.co/GH708pSibb.co/XY3DgjY I’ll also try to show the people that gerbils are such great animals amd they aren’t what they think they are, smaller rats who bite you🙂

lol, Hazel is actually in love with the oat flakes, I’m not kidding, she enjoys the seeds and the flakes. I’ll let a photo down here. So, I looked over the pups, they’re not three actually, maybe four, five? They are all honey, not something special Hazel enjoying the food ibb.co/nmWJkFZibb.co/z8p1MPGibb.co/PWmNH9SThe little 2 weeks Hazel’s pups🥰 ibb.co/ystShf0ibb.co/PC9361Sibb.co/ChZpn1Vibb.co/BqfkLrc Ummm, guys? The pups start to come out of their house (Hazel’s pups). I mean, I know it should be normal but they started only when I checked on them. Maybe I should let them cause they’re two weeks old and it’s the time to explore:)) Coming soon with Tokyo’s pups😍😍

I think you could go either way with the pups, but you would need to do some splitting whatever you choose (either tokyo to hazel or a pup to another gerbil).
With the salads, I believe everything is fine but don't give too much cheese because it's very fatty and has lactose which I think is what gerbils are intolerant to, so only give little bits. They do love it though! Also grapes are very watery so again don't give too much. I love how you've layed out the salads, but I bet the gerbils messed them up quickly!
Love the pictures <3
