[rides in on a chariot] Hello friends!

[Doctor Digby]

CITIZENS AND GERBILS OF THE FORUM, I HAVE ARRIVED. Well, from a sort of busy month.

Updates in the tiny world of Quorra and Amelia:

I am still looking to possibly expand their 10 Gal. home to a 20 Gal. tall set up but I am wondering if a 10Gal topper would fit on a 20 Gal high tank...?

I have completely gerbil-proofed my room once again. The girls have never had full room roam time so I blocked all the holes pickeed up all the wires and I released the hounds so to speak. The girls loved it. I crawled around on the floor with them and they were being so playful I think the extra space really brought out their calm yet playful side. Amelia has calmed down ALOT she is no longer bitey or mean. Quorra is just really hyper alot of the time.

Here have a picture of Quorra being photogenic:


okay have another one:



Amelia doesnt sit still long enough for me to actually take any pictures.

So update me on your lives! What has been going on, any new arrivals, updates cages and tanks? DETAILS DETAILS!!

So happy to hear that Amelia has mellowed out! The first picture with Quorra is a great one - she looks ready to pounce!

Not a lot of news in the land of KnC other than somehow middle age (they're 2) has snuck up. Hard to believe we've had them nearly that long.

i got to bring Dusty over to my grandparents for a few days. was worried because their ct is a lot more energetic then my cat. everything went well though and Dusty had as much fun chasing Cleo around the house as he does Mellow

[Doctor Digby]

awwww. Yeah my girls are...... Just about 7 months old!

Alot of funny behavior though, its like Quorra and Amelia switched personalities because Quorra used to be the mellow gentle one and now she is the hyperactive cautious one like she is always on edge, if I walk by the cage she gets freaked out far too often and when i have her out shes like a giant freaking spazzoid.

You let your cat chase your gerbils around the house?! O.o"

[wolfgirl]

no.. my gerbil chases the cat when he's in his ball! it is the funniest thing to watch. i would never allow the cat near him without protection.

[ninestone]

I bet you didn't know - WolfGirl and Chuck are tight.

[NedIsNotOnFire]

Oh my God xD xD x

[Doctor Digby]

OMFG THAT IS BRILLIANT I AM CRRRRYYYYYING

[wolfgirl]

Yes! yes! so many times yes!! i'll try to get video of it sometime for you guys.

[Doctor Digby]

so! i have noticed that my girls are definitely getting to be more friendly but more demanding about full room playtime. they are needy little buttheads. how do you guys deal with them giving you THAT LOOK when you walk past the cage and they want out???

[rennmaus]

Well! I drop everything, change my plans for the night and offer them what is known as the 'travel tube' in this house - it usually leads somewhere like my lap, the sofa, the play pen...

(..and I wish I was joking!)

When I get THAT LOOK there is not really much else I can do though... even if I take them out for only five minutes or so.

Oh, and I've tried full room playtime for the first time last week! They loved it (of course).

[Doctor Digby]

My girls cant get enough of it. I am taking them out for 20-30 minutes a day to stretch their wee legs.

[wolfgirl]

dusty gets to come out on top of his tank whenever i get the look and he gets time running around in his ball every couple of days. my two new guys haven't settled in enough to know about out time

[Doctor Digby]

awwwww
