Meet Becca Rose

This is Becca Rose (formally Adora from previous post). I adopted her from the APL Friday, January 14, 2011. I visited her the night before and I had to adopt her. I estimate her age to be about 8 months old. She is a PEW (Pink eyed White). She is family to my older PEW male Bud. She is so sweet. Loves to chew. We got her a wheel yesterday and loves it. We also found out that the petstore that she and Bud came from no longer have white gerbils as all the white gerbils from that store are Bud's descendants. So now she is the last. It was fate that I got her. She is currently in a 5 1/2 gallon tank until we can get her into a 10. She loves her new home now since her old home was 1/2 that size and it was one of those all plastic Habitrail type cage with a wire bottom.  The names comes from the character Rebecca (Becca) from the HBO show Californication and Rose came from my sister and mom. Since she was family to Bud, "Rose Bud". She has a mangled ear probably from squabbling with her tank mates at the store. She might also have a dust problem as her nose is very red.

Heh, what a cute baby ^^

I have a question about putting gerbils together... do you think it's possible to put three female gerbils together? Two of them are sisters, Ashley and Shirley, and they're 2 years old. I wanted to adopt a new one, a younger one. What do you think?

It is very risky. Chances of success are low. I would not recommend it. I would wait until one passes and then do an intro with another younger female or even better a male since a female gerbil over 2 years is very unlikely to have pups. That is what I did and it works.

Okaaay, thank you :) I've read online about it, and you're right, it might be dangerous for them if I force them to be together so I'll better wait or something. Thanks anyway ^^
