More Pictures Of Herman's Kids

Jo (from Black Wolf Clan Gerbils) sent more photos of Herman and Kaden's pups. Their fur is starting to come in now!

It's very exciting to start to figure out what colors the pups will be. It looks like we'll have some nutmegs, a couple of dark-eyed honeys, and one pup who is probably a polar fox or a silver nutmeg. Two of the pups are spotted.

I'm still trying to decide on a name for the pup I keep. I'm thinking about naming him Pee-Wee, because he's a little Herman. Plus, then I would have Pee-Wee and Herman. ;)

I probably won't pick a name until I know which pup is coming home with Herman. Since I don't want to breed and just want to keep gerbils as pets, I need to make sure that Herman comes home with a son. The pups aren't old enough yet to tell which are male and which are female. But pretty soon I'll be able to figure out which pup is coming back with Herman to Twin Squeaks.
