HI! I know ive been missing from the list for a while- we had a hectic past month! We have a rat and mouse club with magazine and theres a section in it calle d "all in the family" about related species (particularily other Myomorphs) of rodents. Last issue we featured egyptian spiny mice (Yes the title of the section is a bad pun!). Gerbils and Jirds would fit in the section too and I wanted to know if anyone here wanted to write about gerbils and/or Jirds? We cover the basics of the species- for example, the spiny mouse article covered general appearance, natural habitat, caution about "break away tails", where to obtain pets, feeding/diet, caging, and breeding facts. Of course if you want to write about gerbils you can cover other topics too if you like, liek current colour varieties or shows. This invitation for articles is open to anyone, but I also though that those of you who are involved with clubs might find it good publicity for your clubs since many pet rodent fanciers keep more then 1 species, so you may find soem new fanciers this way. Article can be anythign from 1 page to several pages- what ever is necissary for you to write a good article. You can ad pictures/photos if you like. The deadline for the next issue is april 30th but theres more issues after that too ;-) Club is "Rat and Mouse Fanciers for Excellence" magazine is calle d"Rat and Mouse fancy report". Sample issue is onlin at www.rodentfancy.com then click on the international RMFE club, then on magazine, then on Samples and Backissues. The club is USA based but we have soem european members. We cant offer payment for articles, but its good publicity for the gerbil fancy and we can send you a copy of the magazine so you can cherish your name in print :) You retain ownership of your article but in sending us an article, you grant us permission to print it in our magazine and on our website as needed. Full credit will of course be noted on your article.
