Has enybody gotten their gerbils neuterd? What is the lowest price you have found?

Okay, I know this is kinda pointless, but I've really been wanting to try out the blog thing, so, I shall introduce you to my gerbils. (I'll hopefully get a photobucket accont soon, so I can post pictures)

In Tank #1, we have Athena & Artemis, a burmese and a nutmeg, these two little girls came to me at the 2011 New England AGS gerbil show. I adopted them from KJ of Moonstone Gerbils, and they’ve been living with me ever since. Right now they’re about ½ a year old. Athena is a show gerbil and has won a first place and best in show at the 2011 New England AGS mock show.

And, in Tank #2- Percy & Agamemnon, a pied black and a spotted black, these two boys came to me at the when my mom found them at a little pet store. My mom called me, and I came over, and ended up with these cute boys. Right now they’re about 1 ½ years old.

They've been home almost a week now, they've settled in very well and already know me and my scent, so handling is generally very easy and that little Kobette is a right 'un. 

As today was nice and sunny (severe weather warnings huh? Yeah, right.) I took some quick snaps of the two girls...

I recently picked up two new little girls to be introduced to my loner; Skye.

We have a little REH and a Collared Black, both are related to my Gerbils I have here which is a nice little twist of fate; the REH is granddaughter of Lynn one of the Wavy breeder females and neice to some of the Gerbils left here (Lynn is now living with Ed) and the Black is distantly related to Skye, Isi and Hazel.

Pete's decided that the REH is to be called Siena b (said like Sienabee) after the late and very much missed Siena. And the Black is to be called Kobette after the late Kobe.

They coped with the drive back quite well, and initially Kobette was the most inquisitive but this morning; the day after Sienab seems to be the most confident and has quite happily been coming into my hands for a play and doesn't mind me lifting her.

When they first arrived home, just moving them into a temporary tank until they're splt with Skye:

Word of warning... There's quite a few images in this post!

We had a little day out at Clumber Park which is in the most northern part of the ancient Forest of Sherwood  (I previously posted about a visit to Sherwood itself) and I haven’t been since I was in upper sixth-form, so was around 18 and it was a beautiful summer day and we spent most of our time sat on the grass outside the chapel watching over the lake - what more could you ask for?
