Post by: atrox on 02/08/2008 22:06:44: Why do you have them, when you don´t like them? kids? Work?

...I have two gerbils by the way... [;)]
Title: The patter of tiny feet
Post by: Karen W. on 02/08/2008 22:20:52: I love kids but Rodents gerbils are not kids..

I don't own any myself, but they have invaded my property We have huge river rats and wood Rats here as pests they destroy everything and they give me the creeps... Beavers don't bother me.. but rats and gerbils I never had a fondness for.. my kids liked Rats and my family as children all had gerbils.. mostly hamsters... They scare me with their squishy little bodies and the smells are really bad! I think baby mice are cute but I don't want one anyways! LOL

Title: The patter of tiny feet
Post by: atrox on 02/08/2008 22:30:35: hehe...my gerbils don´t smell.
Just got them out of emergency 3,5 years ago.
I dont want any again after these two, but now that I have them, they are kind of cute [8)]

Oh, and I know that gerbils are no kids [;)] ...just wondered if the kids of doc (if he hase some...dont know) brought these rodents to his house, or why else he has some now...

oh...sorry doc, mixed some postings up I think

I thought you were married.
Title: The patter of tiny feet
Post by: atrox on 02/08/2008 23:52:55: lol

Yes, I think they are not really something for me either... somehow poor little things...
But my "caged animals" (ok, well, my rabbits are not really more caged than me...we share my room) are all second hand... think they have a better live with me than in a shelter or something...

Humble apologies!!
