Haha, good that more and more people are interested in gerbils

haha, this tank is really really heavy

Oh, now this is just rather weird. I had a nightmare early this morning that my rabbit died and my family burried it without telling me, and I was really sad about it. Later on at dinner time I told my mum my dream, then she said this morning she dreamt my gerbil died. We were like wah, what a coincidence, dreaming of dead pets, then we laughed it off. After that my dad told me dont get so attached to your pets, coz all will die someday.

I got home. Sat down in front of my pc..then I glanced to my left, at my gerbil tank.

Daryl was in sleeping position, very motionless. I took a closer look and my heart sank. He was dead. This is super weird, he died just like Keith. No wounds, no sickness, just like that. he's just around 1 year old only.

My only guess is the rusty wire that hangs their bottle to the roof. Keith and his sons just love to chew on it. Maybe kena poisoned by the rust. I just repalced it. Hope the others will be fine.

thanks guys. I highly suspect the wire coz only Daryl n Keith liked to chew that wire, they chew so much until it got rusty. Then both died suddenly with no visible wounds. Already replaced the wire with a new one and hung the bottle higher. However the rest of them in that tank dont have the wire chewing habit so it hink they will be ok.

I think that straw she mentioned should be the russel bedding. So far mine ok la with that, could have been coincidence with her pups, but hard to say sometimes la

Lol, means your cat is "useless" as vermin control, but its a good thing for you, haha

Dig yourself, haha.... I think near those riverbanks got

Put freezer tail sure turn dark, frost bite ma, haha...then drop off

hmm which pet shop?

Its dipodils is it? The pallid gerbils... coz I remember seeing some at petsmore before. They are a different specis from mongolian gerbila, got thinner heads

yea, shes right, its at the kitchen part. It comes in a box then you have to assemble it

if u cant find it jus ask the staff, they will direct u.

yeah..the 15 one is really huge, sure cant fit, hehe

Yea actually I think the one dien post is suitable..got another similar one that is not mesh, that one the tail can got hru...the mesh one is alright, coz the holes are too small for the tail to get stuck.

yes they can take bread... toasted wholemeal bread is good for them. Without butter/kaya of coz...haha

ahaha... I'm imagining they all hugging together while taro gets closer and closer...

Actually I'm also scared of taro when he gets excited, haha. Like canonball only.

Ya lo, how come I also don't have? hahahahahahha

blue not blue gerbil but bird, haha

yes its the one on her sig..haha... my friend got a blue rabbit la, also blueish grey like that... but blue gerbils are almost black.

Compared to hamster they are less smelly...no need to clean as often.....but they chew and climb more, have to take care of getting a proper housing for them, otherwsie tehy escape, injure themselves or destroy all the things in the cage.
