Yea I'm loosely familiar with Romania, the car valeter at the garage I work at is from Romania, quite a few Romanians have come here in the UK over the past 15yrs or so, at least until Brixit happened anyway . I know roughly where it is, that the main Romanian language is latin based (no surprise their with the Roman based country name ). I think the capital is Bucharest?? Let me Google it...., yes I was right and I even spelt it right! . Sadly I don't know much more than that. Maybe you could be starting the popular uptake of Gerbils in Romania? Did that woman/girl you speak to the other day go off to research more about Gerbils? Or just give up? (Will check out your new photos now - gorgeous! )

I’m happy you know something about this country. Unfortunately the people aren’t so kind (not all, but a part of them are). That lady gave up, I felt quite released when she gave up from taking pups because I knew she wouldn’t take care of them properly. A also gave four pups and I have 7 more🙂, a lot, i know. I gave them some fresh vegetables today, broccoli and spinach. I’ll write you a lot more tomorrow because is 23:32 and I have school tomorrow 🥲 I hope Avon and Blake are ok, maybe you can show us some cute photos with them, I would love that🥰🥰🥰 P:S If you want to visit something beautiful, I recommend you Romania, Transylvania, You must believe me it is a beautiful country for it’s places.

Have you tried looking for online Romanian gerbil groups, especially on Facebook?
If not, I know there's a Romanian hamster group. I don't know the name unfortunately, but I know someone on another forum who moderates it. I could message them and see if they might be able to help, as there's a lot of overlap between hamster and gerbil care. People in an online group are also more likely to be the caring, informed (or willing to become informed) type.

I don't think she looks fat at all. She was a bit too skinny before, now she's looking better.
The pups are looking so grown up!

Oh! So she’s just fine? I thought they needed to look fit or something like that😂 I’m glad she’s ok, I was really concerned if I need to give her less food or keep her on a diet. Oh yeah, and I still didn’t see her on the wheel, only the pups but I think that she is using it in the night, if the pups know how to use it Tokyo probably learnt them how to.

Yes she's completely fine. Please don't feed her anything less, she looks like the correct weight for a gerbil In fact she still looks a little smaller than my girls were (they weren't chubby at all)! Do you have her weight?

Yes, she's fine. You can see in the older photos, the back of her neck was very hollow, which is a sign she was too skinny. These are my females at good weights for you to compare:

Yes, they look perfect weights LilyandDaisy (not to mention adorable too). My girls are quite skinny currently as they're only around 10 weeks old, but they're probably start gaining weight soon. You can see Rolo in my profile picture to compare too, she was a good weight (around 80-90 grams I think). She does look a bit chubby in the photo, but that's because of her position!
