Yeah, in my records, pet stores aren't all that great at telling the gender of young animals, especially when their young. Coincidentally, I had the exact same thing happen with gerbils too, only they told us they thought they were both male. Then my brother Travis walks in on Steve having babies. As in, as she's having them. Yeah. Gave all but two (Dove and Night) of the litter to a pet store. For some reason the parents then hated each other after the litter and they had to be separated.

Oh, and make sure you keep them in a secure facility. Gerbils are notorious escape artists. Be especially wary of giving them exercise wheels; mine got them to stick and then used then as ladders to either pop the top off of their plastic pet cage or to chew through the mesh we put over an old fish tank. And they are fast little buggers, making them a pain to get a hold of again. You have been warned. Enjoy the cute little fellas.

oh ive had her for a year now. the scariest thing was wen she got out of her ball twice and i had a heart attack trying to catch her before she disappeared into the mess that was my room. caught her both times and she has never attempted to leave her cage, shes too happy nesting :] but never the less i had a gerbil years ago and it mad a mad dash around the house for 3 days, called him mad max the wonder gerbil. we caught him though. so yea, and my mom used to work at petsmart she knows all about animals and their peculiar habits :] luna's a pleasure. i dont even mind her nibbling and excercising at night XD

Very cute Gerbil

I know they can sometimes be hard to tell apart, when my BF worked at a pet store, we were kind of asked to breed them for a while. I only have 2 gerbils right now though.

awe what fun XD
