Well, the little one is still alive.

I was surprise to see the little gerbil still alive in the tank this morning, he looked really bad yesterday. But, after feeding him Friday night, Gerri seems to have come around and is taking care of him. The last female from the first litter is going to be with her sisters tomorrow night, so that will leave a free tank for me to move Gerri and this litter so they have more space. Tom and the boys are in the larger tank, having a blast in there. I'm trying to find homes for 2 of the boys, since there are 3 plus Tom, I don't have much of a choice. Once the boys get bigger, I wont be able to tell them and Tom apart. However, with the new litter, I'll have the same problem with Gerri and the girls, but not the boys as they are both gray. I tried to feed the little one today, but he wanted no part of it, and I take that as a good sign for now. But I'm still keeping my eye on him, keeping my fingers crossed that he continues to improve over time.
