This night I introduced all my males together...
I have 30 males but all in groups from 2 or 3 gerbils... but it was very difficult to give them enough attention... so now I have 3 groups of 10 males... I hope they won't fight this night!

Are they adults? I have tried that too, because I needed tanks for new gerbils, but it didn't work! That is one of the reasons that I temporarly stopped breeding Mongolian gerbils!
How did you do it? Maybe it works for me too! ;D

SWIMMING!!!! ;D
I'll try to explain in English here how I did it...
I had 3 little boxes, for shows and sprayed some animal friendly desinfection stuff in it... so it smells very strange..
Than I made a bath, with warm water and rodent shampoo, so it would also smell strange...
I got al the needed gerbils in the bathroom and put them 1 by 1 very quickly in bath, so they started to swim and also jumping as crazy! After a few minutes they very tired and sitting all still in a row... after that I put them in a little box and now they are standing by the heating...
1 group is already nice to eachother!
the 2nd group also but not 100%
the 3rd are still a little bit making a fight, but I put some water in the box and start all over again!

hmmm, thanx! I will keep it in mind. And keep us updated on how the other 2 groups will do!  I have 2 males pairs that I wanted to have together, but I think I will wait, because one of the males is already 4,5 years old! And I want to breed with one male of the other pair. So when the old one dies, I will place the two of the remaining 3 males together, and the one left will get a female partner, and hopefully pups after some while! But for now it is good this way! |
