Playgerbil

C!!!!!! The light colored one .... wouldn't hold still really well but it's obvious his jewels are there. The spot next to the foot almost center top, is the one hole & the spot just above the whitish tuft at the bottom is the anus.

He has grown quite fat while sneaking the goodies given his partner, #1 during her pregnancy. He is starting to get more wheel time in playbox to fix this problem

This is Tater and Spud. Tater is three days from delivery, the first photo is from her first one. The rest are for second litter.

A more than slightly disgruntled gerbil even bribed... He's like 'I beg your pardon' & held still for about 1/2 a second for another try at it.The one hand grip isn't squeezing him yet he can't get loose. I wirewrap stones so I have a very strong grasp - this hold might not work for you.[R] The circle above center is the penis & the bottom of the vertical line is the anus. My little fingertip is upper right for scale.

Spud's stepson, 32 days old, agouti male. Tater came about 2 weeks along from an unknown father & dropped 4 agouti (2 male, 2 female) & 3 blacks (all girls). The little guy on the left has just been photoed back down, then flipped for pertinent parts photo, and I wanted a head shot. He doesn't think so and is crawling out!

Below is my hand with a one pound coin to the left and an american (canadian same size) penny to the right. To show the size my hands are when holding stuff.

Next pages are Stripe & Tater, 2 gals, from their 1st t & 2nd pregnancies, showing them at various points in their pregnancies. Both went about 28 days 1st time and about 40 or so days for 2nd (as of the last photos here Tater was 35 & delivered in 5 days by side movement). Times given for 1st are approximate day in, 2nd were proportionally more. Tater had her 1st litter removed at day 34, all were eating, drinking and she seemed to have dried up.

I noticed a 'solid' looking girl around 7-8 days before delivering on a 28 day cycle, and confirmed with time...and a 'brailleogram' where I very GENTLY felt the stomach.
