I now have a strong bond with my smaller gerbil, Dixie. As I type right now, Dixie is cralling around on my sholders and around the front and back of my neck. Daisy is busy rolling around in the ball. Dixie has a strong bond of love with me. It's still taking a bit for Daisy to love me, but I still love her. I have got to go take Daisy out of the ball, it's been 30 min. Ecoa  |

Some gerbils like us more than others!  But great that Dixie likes you so much! |

Lucky you, both of my boys are still being rather anti-social, despite daily attempts at holding/talking/feeding them but I'll stick with it. I'm hoping that when we're able to get a play pen for them, it'll give us a better chance to handle them as at the moment I'm to frightened to take them out of the tank (apart from when I move them to clean the tank out!) as I know they'll run off never to be seen again.  However this evening after much trying one of my gerbies finally winked back at me! ;D It's a start. |

One of my gerbils, Slesse, an older black female, will curl up on chest in my hand and settle right down when I watch tv or am on the computer. She's seriously comfortable with me. Sweet!

I am so jealous!!! That is wonderful that you have a buddy (the other one is a buddy too - just in a different way!  I have a question (again!) Is it possible to introduce different species of gerbils? Mine is a mongolian and would like to get a friend but do not think I can find another mongolian at the moment (very limited here on the island). Can I get a different gerbil type or will that create disaster?!! Janet |

The island I live on is Bermuda (close when someone said England as it is a British colony It is located approximately 800 miles off the coast of the Carolina's in the US. Located on the map it will show a little itty bitty black dot in the ocean that looks like an errored ink mark - that's Bermuda Anyone visiting anytime please let me know!! ;D Janet |
