Gerbil babies dying off
I have a pair of gerbils in a 15 gallon...plenty of food, water and both are very heathly and good parents.
The last two litters my grey female gerbil has had (her only two litters) the babies do very well at first...then about the time they are walking around with their eyes either just opened or hardly open they start doing bad. They start getting lethargic and weak and die off. Not all the babies, but in the first litter of 7, 3 died. Now in this litter of 5 one has laready died and two more are looking bad tonight. The others who aren't doing badly or already have died are doing fine though....its odd that some make it but others start doing bad and die.
Anyone know why this is? Or what I can do about it?
