You now if your female gerbil is pregnant she will nip at you she will sleep a heck of a lot she will eat just a Little and drink a lot.She will get fat she will seem what is the word DEPRESS so be good to your pets.
How Do You Know If Your Female Gerbil Is Going To Have Babies?
Well is your female gerbil been with a male because if she asn't then forget about it anyway this will help:
Early in the pregnancy you will not be able to tell that your gerbil is pregnant. The babies are still too small to be noticeable. About day 18, you may notice that your gerbil is looking a bit "bulky". If she is currently nursing, however, this slight change may not be noticeable because her body hasn't gotten the chance to return to a pre-pregnancy state.
At about day 20-23, your gerbil will begin to look more pregnant. If you still are questioning whether she is pregnant, you can usual tell by the "hand test". This just involves setting the gerbil on your hand and seeing if her belly brushes your palm. In the normal, non-pregant state, her belly will be lifted slightly off your hand. When she is pregnant, however, you can definitely feel the light weight of her stomach touching your palm.
Very late in the pregnancy, day 24-28, your gerbil will feel very large and look pear-shaped. There is no question that she is pregnant at this point! Some people say that the female feels lumpy, like a little sack of potatoes. I've never noticed this, but you may. Whatever you do do not press on her belly to "feel" the babies. This is very uncomfortable for your gerbil and cannot be good for the developing pups. Please don't count your chickens before they've hatched.
If she has been wih a malee , then maybe.
If she has, you wont be able to tell she is pregnant until late in the pregnancy, I only found out my gerbil was pregnant the day before she gave birth. If so then clean her tank out as you cannot clean it out after the babies are born only about 2-3 weeks after. Make sure the female is not with another female , and do not seperate her from the male until after the next litter then put one of the female babies from this litter with mum to help her raise the babies then she wont have lots more, is she is on her own it could be stressful for her, don't put her with another female her age, as that female may eat the mums babies!! Hope this helps but take my advice, do make sure there is lots of food and the hand test is very reliable!! Try not to touch the babies and drape a towel over half the tank so it is less stressful and she feels safe ;] its to help momma gerbil but don't worry she will be a fab mum. The dad wont eat the babies, except in very rare situations, the female is most likely to eat the females so don't worry, lol!!!!

Well if the female is making a nest in the corner or edge of the cage then that is one sign that she is pregnant. Also, another way to determine that your female gerbil is pregnant is if she hoards food. After about 18 days of the pregnancy then she should be a little fatter...

If your gerbil has recently been with a male, then you can say that she is pregnant. But if not, and she is going fat then it might indicate that she is ready to mate. Do not touch your stomach no matter what. She will start to show signs before a few days left to give babies. Here is a website which will help you a lot during this time period.

Because she get really really fat and you can sometimes see the gerbils shaggin lol but if she has been with a male and is ova 8 weeks old then it will have mated so be careful as you cannot always be sure of the sex of your gerbils and the babies when they reach the age will m8 with they're parents :P
Well,I don't know but,if she is going to have babies,And if you get a male ,seperate the male from her.Because she could have MORE BABIES!

If it has been rolling around and not walking write at all. You should go to a on vet and not let it be alon over 8 hours
The space above her hips will fill in later in the pregnancy...give her lots of food and water, do not let her run out because they will eat thier babies or while they are still in the uterus they can absorb the babies for minerals and vitamins...
