Here are the lovelies at 3 weeks old The first pic is a few days ago when their eyes first opened

Disclaimer! My son insisted that baby gerbils love Ben10 which is why he said i had to put it down for them :roll:

Unfortunately much harder to photograph now as they are so active :lol:

The little runt - not sure if she will make it or not unfortunately

The other pied agouti

they're lovely! I love that cream colored one

Are they interactive with you, like a hamster/mouse?

Yes they are but in a different way. AS a rule they aren't as brave as a hamster or mouse and are really active, but as i've been handling these pups regularly they are fantastic and crawl all over your hands and arms

NOthing specific is up with her she just is the runt but she's not really thriving. She looks healthy but isn't really growing much so not sure how she will do tbh.

Are they as full of mischief as other baby animals? The adult gerbils we have had have made absolutely fantastic pets and full of complete mischief. I guess that answers my question. :lol:

They're gorgeous! I love the little runt of the litter, she's adorable and the one that resembles her with the stripe up the face is lovely! We have 4 gerbils, I find them to be quite addictive! Lovely pets!
