Re: Emergency!!!! Update

Hi all, Just thought I'd put my two cents in here.  I had a pair of gerbils when I was in college, Rosencrantz and Isolde (they used to be part of two separate pairs, but their partners died) who had one healthy litter that made it to adulthood.  I gave away the pups and all was quite well.  They then had a second litter.  This group made it to about 3-4 weeks and Rosie went nuts.   He ate the whole litter and killed Isolde.  I don't know if there were extenuating circumstances, I was away for the summer and my mom was looking after them, but she got pretty freaked out and asked if she could get rid of Rosencrantz.  I said sure and she sold him to a pet store.  I thought it was pretty weird myself, but she swears she had been taking good care of them.   Anyhow, thought I oughtta add that    The Classic Theatrical Struggle: The Show Must Go On vs. This Is Stupid, I'm Going Home!
