Son asked if we could have gerbils again when his school had several babies.
We said we'd have 2, as long as they were the same sex.
Not sure where that biology teacher did his training, but we ended up with quite a few more than 2, once they lived with us.!
I hope your 2 remain 2

lol Rose... yes, I have to agree..... more of a growler than a biter.......

You are all soooo filling me with confidence lol,

we have just put a little wooden cabin in for them and watching what they make of it...Squeak is determined to get on the roof...while Bubbles seems not to realise the ladder is for going down as well as up ,and is hovering on the brink...about to do a deadly leap into oblivion.... oh my ! lol

lol Rose, maybe you should make her a parachute ;-)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~to Daff

A wooden cabin...?
That will have interesting fluted walls soon.
A tasty gnawing place........

Gwyn

LOL Cat, do NOT let my son hear that...he has one of those parachute harnesses that came on a small figure ...it may well fit a gerbil.......... !!

Gwyn, yes I think the gnawing has begun...it will keep their teeth down though :)

xx

Did you know......?. A bit of history fact here.....

In the war, they used to put parachutes on pigeons and relase them to drop to Allied forces, or wherever. Then the parachute was taken off, a message attached to pigeon's leg and it was released to fly off home.

I knew pigeons were used, but never thought about how they got to the right place until I visited the Imperial War Museum.

Lesson over....

Gwyn

That's interesting Gwyn, I'd never thought how they got them there either lol

Oh Rose I hope youre not allergic to their Amonia,}}}},}ours had to go because I was allergic to it,

My daughters 2 pet rats are also called Bubble & Squeak. They are very cute.
She has had several rats over the years.

rats "altho seem odd pets" are problyt he best to have for kids, there brilliant pets we have had many and they have all "but one" been brilliant x

LOL, when i was about 10, i started out with 2 female mice, within a couple of years i had about 30, not sure if we got the sex wrong or one was already preggy, so keep your eye on them.
