I could not resist this little lonely cutie. She is a nutmeg, guessing 5 weeks? Isn't she cute? Now a name....

Awww she's a cutie I love her colors, When I got my two there was one that looked like that, she was too young for me to get though. I was gonna name her Nutmeg lol, original I know. So when does she get a friend?

Do you happen to be a member of a gerbil forum? I just saw this gerbils pictures posted there, I was wondering if it was you or not.

What a cutie!! I have a gerbil too!!

yep, that is me on the other forum too.
I have raised one litter, they are 2 1/2 years now and am down to only 5 including the new one. I am thinking of pairing her with one of the males from that litter as they carry a gene I want to propigate which is rare around here. But I'll see. I could not find homes for the last ones so will keepall from an future litters too. They are such fun to just watch. I tried to pair a baby female with a younger female but after getting along just fine for a couple months the baby was killed, so I don't even want to pair her with another female unless she is the same age, which is hard to find around here.
