I’m sad to report that I came home to the farm on Monday night to find Ralph (my pet gerbil that I’ve had since May 2006 ) dead.
I definitely will miss the little guy. He was so fun to watch as he climbed up the bars of his cage, or when he would chew up toilet paper rolls. He also would take sunflower seeds and yogurt drops from my fingers after he realized that he got more treats if he didn’t bite me.
I probably will get another pet. It was nice having some company when I got home at the end of a long day.
Sorry for your loss. I know that having some live company, however small, is nice. And you certainly had better luck with gerbils than I ever did.;-)
Hi, Google News alerts sent me your link for “gerbil” and I thought I’d offer condolensces over your gerb. You might be able to find a pair for adoption at a shelter in your area or someone at agsgerbils.org might have some that need homes as well. I have about 30 that have come from shelters or friends and love them all.
