The Whiskery Gerbils

Right, last lot of critters, :)

Sid, my old boy gerbil, born roughly May 2007, loves scritches before running off to chew something else ;)









Alf, Sid's brother, now deceased a few months ago of old age :( He and his brother were my first ever pets, and its they that introduced me to rodents and for that I will always be grateful.

The Whiskery Rats

Hi guys, I thought instead of publishing a seperate post for each rat, mouse or gerbil, I'd do them one species per post, less work for me ;) I will still do individual posts for each critter over the course of this blog, but for now ...
