Is my gerbil a female gerbil

You can make this determination by looking at the distance between the urinary and anal openings. In male gerbils, this space is larger than it is in females. This method works best when you have other gernils for comparison. Males will also have prominent and readily identifiable testicles as well as a prominaent scent gland that is larger than a female's scent gland.
