Hahaha... true, somewhere nearer to my place would be great.... but GEM don't allow pets in.... so far, the only shopping mall that allow pets is Ikano, you can bring any pet anywhere but large dogs... small dogs must be carrier or kept in a carrier.... If in MidValley, only the lift near PW and in PW only can bring pets in.... so it would be the same with 1U and GEM... no place to sit and chat later.
This is why everytime wanna have gathering, it's always the place that gives the problem.

it can be anywhere as long as Not this weekend.. else i will miss the chance lol

emm...
if many places in city such as mall,supermarket etc ,how about make it in open place..like field??just as suggestion la...as we did two time for rabbit gathering before...we bring our own things..paper or plastic to sit down..food and drink to eat..like having a picnic also..

Firstly.... field? In the evening? Wanna get Dengi ah? Small animals cannot be out in the afternoon.... already 1 member's hamster died during an afternoon gathering with the rest of the small animals suffering from drooling coz of the heat, we would not want to risk it. Already said before earlier but nobody gets it? This is why we must do at a place with a roof and that it is cool.... and evening is the best time for hamster and gerbils and whatever small animals to come out. If we do it earlier, we disturb their natural routine and stress them too.

101% agreed. I dont know much about other rodent like hamster or gerbil, it definately will be a good ideal have gathering in evening. Actually, PERSONALLY ah, I felt is a BIG stress to bring small animal out for gathering, they are soooo afraid of the new enviroment, sound, noise, etc. They are not like dog and cat, WHICH ENJOY outing! The thicker the fur of that animal, the cooler the animal need... Like Chinchila, they release heat from their ear and feet, not from the body, no sweat also.

Oh? From the ears and feet? Hamsters release heat by breathing hard, drinking water and drooling.... when they drool, whole neck wet like it viomited... pity last time.... it's the same with gerbils too.

So the best is an evening gathering heheheh

Yup, small animals can die from heat stroke. A pair of my hamsters died of heat stroke while in the car


KP

If chin drooling, that's a BIG PROBLEM, either need to trim the teeth, or going to 'leave' soon due to malocclusion(a type of teeth disease).

-sorry divert a bit from the thread...

Hehe.. icic.. so how wor? The gathering when? This coming weekend or the next?

I guess somebody gotta fix a date leh.

It won't be this weekend for sure... too fast. I still vote for May 12 or 13. If you guys don't suggest dates... then sure lah we got problem fixing the date.

I agree with the May time, April a bit too early & my own forum oso got gathering to attend wo.

May is better.... a bit too many gatherings to go later it won't be that fun. A once a while gathering is a good thing but if it is weekly? Gonna be too normal later hahhah....

hoho...now i know...
now i just wait for the date la..heheh

May 12 la.

yeah .. april have too many gath oredi .. may ? going to pulau kapas .. haha .. u decide first la ..see if i can join or cannot .

I agree.

Iguana can join this gathering ah ? , at least iguana not like snake that kind of reptile will eat up ur bunny/gerbil etc.

I guess vegetarian reptiles are allowed hahaha.... anything that eats rodents aren't allowed, scared kena telan.

OK... I guess there is a good vote for May 12th.... will update soon.

Marked on my calender liao..MAY 12.....yeah !!!!......quick quick ...
