I just got a new girl-- she's a beautiful white gerbil with black eyes and grey ears. I had to get her at a pet shop because the nearest breeder is 4 hours away and I don't have a car, but the place seemed very reputable-- much better than the place I got Nees and Goat, anyway. Unfortunate, Goat seems to hate her. She's breathing hard and squeeking and trying desperately to get through the bars. Sometimes she calms down and they just rub noses and sniff each other for a long time, so maybe that's a good sign. Obviously I just wish Nees were here...
What color do you think the new gerbil is? I think I'm going to call her Feisal.

it's interesting... Goat clearly really really wants to see the other gerbil, possibly for violent purposes, but whenever the gerbil sticks her nose through the bars, Goat just sniffs it. Also I held the new gerbil in my hand and let her sniff Goat's head, and Goat lay down with her eyes closed as though she were going to be groomed.... I thought it looked pretty good until the new gerbil leapt about 10 feet in the air in some sudden burst of terror or excitement. She is such a tiny little thing compared to Goat. They're such interesting, complicated animals. Keeps my mind off of Nees for a while, anyway!
