I went to the pet store yesterday and bought a little gerbil...I was feeling down due to the loss of a friend...(my thanks David for listening to me yesterday). I named the gerbil Sappy...that is what my little boy had named our previous gerbil...he got lose and we found him but when my older son cought him, I think he squeezed him to hard because he died the next day. I had been thinking about getting another one for quite a while now but had not quite brought myself to go into the pet store. Yesterday it just seemed like the thing to do, I figured, they may not even have any, the last time I went to the pet store for pet supplies they only had rodents destined to be snake food(mice and rats). No cutsie gerbils or hamsters...
I prefer Gerbils because they are diurnal, unlike Hamsters that are nocturnal. I want my pet to be up when I am. My dog was tripping over the new pet...she kept jumping trying to smell the cage...the cat sits by the cage and stares...I gotta do something about that. I need to make sure the cage is secured and the cat can't tip it over and eat the poor little guy. :P
I took some pictures...I will load them later on.
