Thanks for all your advice ... > > Catherine > UK > Where do you live? If you live anywhere near Luton, then you should pay a visit to the London Championship Show next Saturday, 27th October. This is a huge show for all sorts of small animals (rabbits, hamsters, mice, rats, cavies, chins and of course gerbils) There will be lots of gerbil and their owners there to give you all the advice you need. Also there will be baby gerbils looking for good homes. Sue
