A pet store just gave my kids 6 newborn gerbils, how do I feed and care for them w/o their mother? Please help
Answers:
Take them back to the pets store and demand to know why they gave your kids them and where the mom is. They obviously need their mom, they can't survive without her if they are less than 3 days old.
If they can't help you, take them to the local ASPCA or animal shelter, then try the vets.
Good luck! You need to get them professional help immediately before it's too late.
Wow, I can't believe they did that.
You are going to need to bottle feed those babies. I hope they gave you the eye droppers and formula for them. You will need to feed them every couple of hours, night and day. They cannot drink cows milk.
Take them back if you can.
If a pet store just gave your kids 6 gerbils why don't you ask them #1 why did they do that without your consent? and #2 how are they any kind of reputable pet store? and you by the way are under no obligation to keep these things and if I were you being the mother, I'd take them back in the morning and tell them either they take these newborns back so they can be properly raised and then weaned by their mom or you just might have to report them to the Better Business Bureau.
