well to be honest the temptation was to name them after GR members ( especially the one who bit me..Gerbil, not GR member lol) but on reflection....

they are now 'Bubbles' and 'Squeak' lol

Good names Rose,
we were going to call are cats "Bubble" and "Squeak" but changed them to
"Pip" and "Squeak" because one was so small,
our latest cats were called Vodka and Coke which was a bit embarrassing when the vet had to call for them......lol

I like gerbils.
We used to put a jam jar in the corner of their cage, - a large fish tank actually. They used to spend ages 'digging' in it.
Ours were Roger and Paxton... can't remember the thinking behind that now!

Have fun watching them.

We used to have 2 gerbils but I can't remember their names though. They were both girls. One should have been called Houdini because she kept escaping from the cage until one day she met Coco.



Btw Coco is a cat


I think you should have called them Hayley and TW

I remember the first time our gerbil got out. The cage was downstairs at the time and I was lying on the settee when I saw this 'creature' moving across the floor. I'd never moved so fast, never mind the gerbil lol
