transfer

I moved the gerbils over to my place yesterday. The transfer was just a little shy of disastrous.

When my cab got to my place, the first thing the skies did was to rain.

Baby gerbils got a little wet. And one of them was not moving. He was curled fetal and I thought he was dead.

But after blowing on them with a hairdryer for a while, they started moving.

That was last night. As of now, they are happily zooming around. And to quote a website (http://www.gerbilbreeding.com/develop.htm), the pups are "motoring along very fast". All over the tank.

I sexed them this morning and out of the 4 dark coloured ones, we have 1 boy and 3 girls. The light coloured one is a girl. Gerby has made this pretty cool nest to place them in. After I took the babies out for sexing, I placed them back in, and gerby seemed to be fine with it. Previously she would go all crazy and shift the nest somewhere else. The only gripe I have with the nest is that it is directly below their bottle. Hope it does not drip or they will get wet!
