One of my gerbils keeps mounting my other gerbil, chasing her around their cage and thumping her back legs at her. They’ve also been squeaking and humping a lot. I’ve checked multiple times and I’m 90% sure they’re both females. Why are they doing this? Are they in heat? I’ve been trying to find answers for almost a week now and I can’t really find anything that completely answers my question so I figured I’d ask here.
I feel like I should also note that I adopted them for a PetCo about a month ago after they had been returned by a different family and the employees told me that they’ve been together for months and they haven’t had any babies before so they’re most probably the same sex and about 6-7 months old. The one that I assume is younger (based on size) is the one that is doing the thumping, chasing, and humping.
