Gerbils will only eat their babies if the pup is dead, if there is not enough resources, such as water and food, or space, or if the mother is stressed. If there is another gerbil in the tank, other than the mother and the father or an older sibling, that gerbil might also eat the pups as a territorial issue.
their spine will start to stick out and they will act very weak.
there might be terms of eating alot, fighting with the male, sleeping alot,getting really fat, and not wanting to be held. so if you think your gerbil is pregnant then feel it's lower stomach .. and you may want to leave your gerbil alone this will cause allot of stress to her if you hold her often..
