Hello!
My name is Claire, I'm 19 years old and
I'm currently working on
a study about the trade in gerbils for
school.
Some of you might already have heard
from me, last week
I started a survey among breeders who
offer their gerbils on
the internet, thanks to everybody who
has answered me so far!!!
I'm sending my questionnaire with this
mail, if you're a breeder
who sells his gerbils via the internet,
please answer my questions...
Of course your answers will only be used
for
my study and they will stay anonymous.
I'm also looking for information on how
and when the gerbil became a
domestic animal and how it has changed
since that time (concerning
behaviour, appearance etc.)... maybe you
can help me
