Well Monday was a sad day, we lost a member of our family, Bob the gerbil, he sadly passed away while I was out shopping and when I returned I thought it was sad to see that Vic, the other gerbil, was grooming his lost friend…well thats what I thought …oh no, he was eating him, urgh, half of his face was missing, eye ball and all, so it was down to me to remove him before Vic got too full and I began to wrech.
Bob has now gone to landfill heaven. RIP Bob.
I briefy thought about getting Vic a new friend but decided against it in the end. After reading up on introducing a new gerbil, it turns out you have to introduce them slowly over a week by letting them have their cages next to each other and when the get used to each others smells and start sleeping next to each other you can introduce them but theres no guarentees they will ever be friends so I decided on just handling Vic more and renaming him……… Hannibal.
Steven reckons getting him a female and calling her Clarice is a good idea but Im not sure thats a good idea, a male and a female means babies and theres enough of those in this house.
Instead I thought we could decorate his tank with drawings and hang a hannibal lecter type mask on the outside.
Anyway there’s not much been going on around here but we are due to go on holiday soon which will be a nice break to celebrate both Steven and Andrews birthdays.
So thats all for now
Take care all.
