I have 39 right now ;D 2 are rescues- one is going to a new home Sunday I have 25 pups 2-7 weeks of age, 5 are going to new homes tomorrow, 4 more going to new homes Monday and Tuesday. I have 3 breeding pairs I also have a father and 3 sons clan and a mother and daughter clan. I'm getting 8 more rescues tomorrow for me, and 18 for a friend, so will be at 65 temporarily then down to 41 gerbils, hopefully 33 if I can find homes for the 8. When the rest of the pups are adopted (I'm keeping two from each litter though) I'll have a lower number. Oh, and I'm expecting another litter Easter night...but won't know how many pups, so my # fluxuates a lot But for keepers I will have 13.

Holy Freaking Cecelia!! (sorry, that's my cow, we always say that instead of "cow".)!!! That's a whole HOUSE full of gerbils!! What's the biggest clan you have? My 7 boys live together, and my 3 girls live together.

lol, yeah. I used to think 8 was a huge number to have at once, but now that I'm breeding it doesn't seem to big.
I'd like a clan of 7 boys, I'm retiring some of my males and hope the litters will be born at the right time, so I can pair different colored pups together. I'd really like a male clan with Pied Siamese, Spotted Burmese, Honey Cream, Pied Nutmeg, Extreme mottle black, Dark Tailed White, and either DEH or spotted black.
My largest clan right now is just the 4 boys, largest girl clan is 3 girls.
But I do have 5 male pups living together, and a family of 10 living together (pups aren't weaned yet). But I suppose that doesn't count as a clan.
Is your male clan all related? I'm hoping the introduction will go smoothly, especially if it's an older pair of male pups to several younger males.

68 right now, but I just sold 13 pups so this morning it was 81. Mostly pups. But I am reducing numbers now I have achieved my breeding goals. I split up a pair today, and will try to start easing the numbers down. I don't anticipate making any new pairs for a while.

I've only got two but I think that's all I can handle at the moment as my lifestyle is quite full on at the moment and it just wouldn't be fair on the animals if I got anymore.

Just so you know, Ritzie, as I mentioned, when she is 8 to 9 weeks old her ticking will come in and she will look more like this (maybe a bit lighter), still, an extremely beautiful colouration:
