The Time When My Gerbil Escaped.

[teambenji543]

Back when I had Latte (RIP) one day I forgot to close the latch on their cage door. (I just got up to grab the gerbil’s dustpan to clean) The door was still closed but I forgot to lock it. She Somehow managed to hang upside down on the bars of her topper and snap open the door! Of course I didn’t know this until went I came back looked in their cage. I saw her sister, Mocha, and I didn’t see Latte but I assumed she was underground somewhere. Then next thing I knew Latte was running from under the bad straight onto my lap! Luckily she wasn’t out for long (a few minutes) and she also let me scoop her up and place her back in the cage. don’t worry, I checked her over and she didn’t hurt herself. (My tank is really low to the ground)

so ever since then I make sure to always securely latch my gerbil cage closed!

Lol, good that she ran to you!

Once when I had Blake on my arm he suddenly decided to leap back to the cage, but he slipped on my sleeve and dropped to the floor! . We both froze, lol, after a second I tried to pick him up (without rushing down to him) and very nearly got him, but he hopped off my hand and went under the cupboard! A cupboard I can't move as it has their tank on it! I then panicked for a couple of seconds before remembering the pick up by tube trick, so I grabbed the spare poster and offered it to him, and he promptly walked in , phew!
