Persian Jirds....

[jakewc2]

I got these two beauties a week ago tonight, thought you might like to see them. They are two males 9 weeks old. Already they are bigger than my Mongolian Gerbils. They are a bit jumpy, but are easily handled.





Sorry about the blurry pics, but I had to take pics and make sure they didnt escape.

Hope you like.

heheh... they're like giant mouse gerbils! More pictures?

I have got a few more.





Still blurred as they are so fast. My battery ran out so I havent been able to take any more, but as soon as I do I'll post them.

they are cute, but when you think about a jird being closely related to a gerbil it's odd when you see their tails, in comparison to that of a gerbil.

I think Gerbils proper name is Mogolian Jird or Clawd Jird. I dont know why they are called Gerbils, would be interested to find out.

I took this the other day, they are growing really quickly. Its a link to photobucket film, its only short so shouldnt take too long to watch. Sorry about the background noise.

Your jird is beautiful
I want to get more if my friend gives me a 4ft tank but my partners like "You'll find it even harder to get someone to look after them!" It's only hard at Christmas time. I don't go away apart from that kind of thing. Sadly my Mum has very naughty cats So I can't take them with me for Christmas
