Gerbil Racing

[whitmoregirl]

Well for a New Year party game we had Gerbil Racing
My dad's idea from Christmas, and yesterday we built the track out of spare cardboard boxes from around the house.

Two lanes, with a tunnel and some gates (stop them from doubling back lol) and the Jack Daniel's Tunnel right before the winner's circle ;D

Five groups, Seniors (raven and pepper), Middle age (kali and kess), Junior males (kipp and oz) Junior females (rose and bea) and Babies (aveline and lacey)

The gerbils loved it! ;D

My family all bet on a race winner, and an overall winner, and it was so fun to see my cousin Duncan hex a gerbil over and over - no-one wanted to bet on the same one as him his luck was so bad!

Amazingly, Raven won the Seniors despite her ear trouble (although it doesnt seem to be affecting her anyway), Kess won the Middle aged group, Oz won the Junior males, Rose won hands down with the Junior females and Lacey won hands down in the Babies race ;D

And I didnt even need to coax them with some food, curious little creatures

Oh and happy new year everyone! ;D
Sorry I couldn't get you any pictures from the racing, I was busy "handling and prepping the mounts"
