How often do gerbils have babys?

Gerbils typically have litters of 4-8 pups about every 4-6 weeks if they are continuously breeding.

However, it's important to note:

* Breeding frequency can be influenced by several factors:

* Age: Gerbils reach sexual maturity around 6-8 weeks old.

* Diet: A healthy diet plays a crucial role in reproductive success.

* Environmental conditions: Adequate space, temperature, and light are necessary.

* Health: Healthy gerbils are more likely to breed successfully.

* Responsible breeders usually control breeding: To prevent overpopulation, breeders often separate gerbils after a specific number of litters.

It's crucial to be aware of the potential for rapid population growth when keeping gerbils, and responsible owners should consider spaying or neutering their pets to manage breeding.
