Our New additions


We got 2 gerbils today - we just couldn't pass them by and they were really inexpensive, plus I missed having a pet and we can't have anything not in a cage. We didn't want to do the fish thing so when we saw these two, the black is a girl and the white is a guy, we said ok.

If you want to help pick out a name for them feel free to toss your names in the ring. We haven't found anything yet and the kids can't think of anything.

How about Ebony and Ivory. Do these things mate like rabbits? You have two cages?

If they mate they would have babies about every 5 weeks or so - less during the summer. Hubby is all excited about them having babies - me not as much...lol but the pet store will take them after they are eating on their own.

the babies I mean not the parents eating the young...

Yea, welcome to the gerbil world. Ours ate each other and that was the end of having gerbils. Totally freaked out my kids. But the white one is cute.

LOL...are you serious Ruth...eeeek!

...they are very cute (despite their cannibal tendencies :)

Gosh I hope they don't eat eachother or their young - that wouldn't just freak out the kids that would freak me out!
