same larr..they say i keep 'tikus' in my room, later breathe the same air with them, later will catch disease
i kept on telling that they are very clean animals, they still say they're 'tikus',
mom said, 'itu ekor panjang, sure tikus la'..

i'd have to be living on my own to be keeping a ferret or suggie lar..

my girls all have diff preference of food ..but all of them loves the organic staple powder i got from uncle taro's kitchen
sometimes i see them plump2, sometimes like normal only..
hahahah hard to tell la..

eh why one donwan to eat? picky eater ah?

i aso want their pics, but dont have camera wor..

i usually take them out and put them in their bathing tank, and they will roll. but if put more than one,
terus tak nak mandi..

mine okay la, but they dont really favor britter bunny, i tried giving them red dates, but they dont like it also..
hahaha..yesterday just tidied up my gerbilarium, put lots n lots of bedding, put in 3 kitchen towel roll (those long ones),
they finished chewing it less than 3 hours..lucky i have tons of kitchen towel rolls to give them..hahaha

hahahah..chew chew chew, and dig all day all night..
cottonkandy, i got it from my work place, now all my frens know that i bring back kitchen towel rolls for my gerbils,
they all sure keep for me one, one day sure can bring 2 or 3 home, sometimes even 5..
i also put a wooden house inside the tank, and half of the door has been chewed off..hahaha

meento, not yet chewed down the entire house, half of the entrence only..hahaha, but they go crazy over the kitchen towel rolls, sure habis onee..

adorable lah i like to see them especially when i wake them up, and they do their sleepy face..

haha, the kitchen towel rolls will be gone in just a blink, but if i give them the roller from the fax paper, that one is really hard, 1 week has passed and the roll is still left 3/4..haha.
but i do enjoy listening to them chew..

@kelvin: i aso tot to create tunnels for them, but they pull all of the rolls to the surface and start to chew chew chew non stop..

just bought some alfalfa hay for my girls..huhu..

@meento: nice pics meento..so cute! as i only haf my gerbils, now im putting the crickets in my fridge, later will think of what to do with them..before my mom freaks out seeing a can of crickets in her fridge

meento, what do u use as a place for them to scratch their nails? sounds interesting

thanks kelvin! will try the tiles giving them a good grip and cut the nails is really hard
afraid i might hurt them.. i already have wood in my girls' tank, i got them the tropical fiddle sticks from petshack

@CK: susah la nak ambil gambar, asyik lari sana lari sini..

wish i could post my girls' pics but i can't seem to get nice pics of 'em with my phone camera..
but all my 3 girls are very plump now, and they're eating well..
i noticed that they are eating more since i switched to Vitakraft nature dinner+emotion sensitive+oxbow healthy handfulls

wonder why gerbils aren't that popular, they're extremely cute, they're rarely nip (mine doesn't nip at all) and they don't smell bad..
they're easy to maintain and manage..its an injustice to them by selling them off at such low price..inbred somemore!

Kelvin: i would if i can..i just can't seem to upload any pics at the moment..not even on FB
worry not, they're in good hands..and i sayang them very much

so sorry to hear that ..have u bring her to any vet? what is she eating now? Maybe u can try syringe feed her
with oxbow critical care..must be really hard for you to see her in that condition..
