Heh :) if that's all my vet did - my vet would get told where to stuff his bill *innocent grin* > Gerbil Society.)

Hehe :) yeah I get weird looks all the time especially when I say I breed them *G* I think those people who have those little mop dogs as I call them are weird *G* (no offense to anyone with toy dogs) But I'm one of those strange folks who believes in order to be a dog - one's dog should at least weigh as much as a 3 year old child. (you know sturdy enough to withstand my two-legged miracles) My advice, would be to try transferring them onto something like carefresh or shredded plain, undyed paper. Perhaps they've developed an allergy to aspen? Or perhaps the aspen you've gotten recently is a different brand and has more dust in it? Animals can develop allergies later in life.
