| Is it preggers or is it fat? That is the question
that plagues gerbil keepers. And probably always will. Don't
feel bad, a lot of us have mis sexed, mis guessed, and otherwise
been gifted with a surprise when we least expected. There
are two gerbils here on this page, several different views.
Either one is preggers, one is not; or both are; or both aren't.
Look at the pictures and guess. Next page will give you the
low down on if you got it right or wrong. Donna of ABCGerbils
had a fine 'preggers or fat' on her website from about middle
of '01, that's another good place to look. Later in, there
will be some pictures showing a female getting fatter and
that to try to give you a chance. I almost always catch it
by just looking at her in the right pose, then pick her up
for a gentle feel. This is Gerb #1, "You Lookin At Me?!?!?" |

Gerbil #2 both pictures. They were taken about
fifteen seconds apart. I call these "I'd like to thank
the..." (left) and "Sing along with Me, *Everybody*
HULA!" (right) |

Gerbil #1 on left and Gerbil #2 on the right |

Gerbil #1 cooperated. Note nipples in lower
on both sides, and one upper left barely visible, and the
center gash looking thing which is the scent gland. Lovely
shot of belly.... #2 when coaxed gave me the two shots above
instead. Then I ran out of pumpkin seeds. |

Gerbil #2, just finishing scarfing the last pumpkinseed
I had. They caught on to the dirty trick of sticking a seed
to some masking tape and hanging the seed just high enough
they had to stand straight up to get it. Then they somehow
managed to convince the sticky on the tape to give and drop
the seed at their feet. :grumph: Choices-A, both are girls
and at 2-3 days pre delivery. B, neither is a girl. C, 1
is a girl and 2 is a boy. D, 1 is a boy and 2 is a girl
And the winner is....see next page.
