本文观察了27对长爪沙鼠在无干扰条件下饲养55窝幼仔的情况。父母的活动由父母双方进行。雄性花更多的时间在巢中，但雌性表现出更多的嗅和舔幼崽和筑巢。在与幼崽的身体接触量方面，父母之间没有差异。这些活动的发生频率随着幼鼠的年龄而变化。这些和其他措施的行为进行了讨论，从年轻的变化刺激和女性的意愿，让男性互动的垃圾。
Twenty-seven pairs of Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) were observed rearing fifty-five litters in undisturbed conditions. Parental activities were performed by both parents. Males spent more time in the nest but females showed more sniffing and licking of pups and nest building. There was no difference between the parents in the amount of body contact with the pups. The frequency of occurrence of each of these activities changed with the age of the pups. These and other measures of behaviour are discussed in relation to the changing stimulation from the young and the willingness of the female to allow the male to interact with the litter.
