This is little Sugar, (or her sister Cream, I really can’t tell) in my
hand while holding the camera in the other. So cute, huh? At this
point, she’s about.. let’s say 1-2 weeks old. Still only an inch or so
long, 2 with the tail.
Named BJ for her Grandmother, Banjo, because she has the same light-brown ring around the base of her tail.
Scaredy had dug the bedding over the spout of the waterbottle, making it leak, so the corner of the aquarium was wet. The nest was in the other, dry corner of the aquarium, but she moved it farther away, to make sure they stay warm.
Here are 3 of the baby gerbils; the pink one is a white gerb, the black one is a black gerb, and the multicolor one is a brown gerb.
These guys are a few days old in this photo.
Eek! It’s Ninja Squeaky!
Here is Sugar, (AKA Mousey, because she had a long tail, vs Cream (stubby)) running around on our at-the-time unfinished floors.
Here is Jo, she’s grown up a bit since her last photos.
As you can tell, she LOVES to squirm around!
Here is Banjo and her hubby Oreo.
Here he is again, curling up in dad’s shirt pocket.
He’s got his ears back, ready to snuggle up.
It’s not only MY shirt he cuddles into, but pretty much any other shirt, too.
