how do i tell

Question
how can i tell if my gerbil is a male or female?If you can tell can you see the penis or vagina?


Answer
Hi Anthony,

A female gerbil will have nipples on her belly.  That's the most obvious way to tell.  Here's a link to a picture that will further help you:

(You won't be able to see a penis or vagina.)

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)
