natural predator! >>
A friend of ours had a little dog one time, and they let it out to go to the
batroom and they went outside to let it in, adn it was no where to be found..
a few days later, they were walking through the woods, and found it dead =(
with marks from some kind of vulture or eagle or something, came down and
grabbed it.. and killed it =( very sad story.. i know this is off topic,
but i jsut though i'd share a few things..
Gerbils are more intellegent then we think! A lady that bought a gerbil
from me a few weeks ago, came back to get another one.. and told us about how
one of her younger daughters feel asleep while the gerbil was sleeping right
by her and she woke up and the little gerbil was gone.. and they went and
looked by the cage and it had crawled behind its cage (in the batroom) thats
where they keep it, so the cat can't get to it, the cat managed to get in the
batroom, and the gerbil hid behind the cage.. she was amazed by this little 8
week old gerbil! And i remember one time, one of my Deh's escaped and made
its way in our neighbors house, i guess it knew it belonged inside! =) just
thought i'd share!
