(We wanted to show you this excellent pup-development site but also need to add this note: Although gerbil pups are cute, make sure you do not jump into breeding. Gerbils have a lot of pups in a very short period of time. They must be separated into separate tanks within a matter of only weeks, and your home can quickly get overrun. Make sure you've learned a lot about gerbils and can find homes for hundreds of pups per year before you start breeding gerbils.)
