Being and Formulating

While I was on my east coast trip, some commingling between our male and one of our female gerbils (Elephant). Last week, she gave birth to 4 gerbils. One died right away and another died a couple of days later. The remaining 2 seem to be doing fine, although Elephant has been keeping them well-hidden. They are too young to determine gender, so we haven’t named them yet (even though that didn’t stop us from naming Elephant). Hopefully, they will soon be big and strong enough to wander from the nest.

This picture is from last week when there were still 3 of them. Click on the photo for more pics.
