Subject: My gerbils
> Hi Everyone :)
> This has nothing to do with anything currently going on on the list, and
> I don't have any gerbil problems. I just wanna rant a bit about my gerbils to
> the few people I know will understand :) So unless you wanna hear the ranting
> of a happy gerbil owner, you can delete this ;)
> I got my little guys a couple of months ago. I went to the pet store not
> knowing what I wanted to get. But as soon as I saw the gerbils I fell in
> love. I bought my two little males, and they are happily living with me
> (thanks a lot to this list!)
> Indy is a chubby little golden agouti, absolutely aborable. He's always
> fast to snatch seeds from my hand and run to the nest to quickly devour it :)
> He's very curious, but very shy, two very contridictory traits! In the
> beginning he would come over and sniff me a bit, then hurridly run away and
> hide. Now he climbs right into my hand for a good head rubbing :)
> Nape is a little black, with aborable white spots on his chin and front
> paws. He's less shy, and the busiest little chewer!! He also runs over to me
> when I put my hand in the cage and climbs right into it, and on up my arm :)
> He's a total sweetie.
> I'm just so happy with my decision to get gerbils. Whenever I'm feeling
> down, I can go over and feel those little claws running all over me and look
> at those beady little eyes as they stare up at me. I can now understand why
> people breed them and have so many. I'd have more if I weren't in college,
> but its hard enough hiding one aquarium from the RA ;)
> Thanks for everyone's help in the beginning, and good luck to all of you
> with your gerbils. They are complete sweethearts :) Sorry for my rant, just
> had to tell someone and I know people here would appreciate it ;)
