Really OT - Worried - i think my gerbil is going to die while giving birth...

Okay so she is due like now... But she has become really weak and she has been having contractions for the past 2 days or so and then they will go and i cant help her at all!! Poor little girl... I just think shes having complications and that she might die from it.. Its her first litter as well so i dont know?

Try not to stress too much. There isn't much we can do to help animals during birth.. if you're really scared then i'd say goto the vet but that can be pricey. I would just try to comfort your gerbil as much as possible in the process and hope for the best. For all you know your gerbil could be perfectly fine and you're just freaking yourself out for nothing. Good luck :)

Okay... She had 6 babies.. 4 have died because she wouldnt look after them... So she has 2 who are 10 days i think now?
