Things that go bump in the night



Or should I say things that whirl around on his wheel every 15 mins from 11pm until about 5am. Abbey conned her Daddy into getting her a gerbil... or gewbil as Noah calls it. Midnight made his home here last Friday night. I have to say other than the random whirling he hasn't really been that much trouble. That is his cool house. He is a bit messy, especially when Abbey left him home alone one night and he worked all night moving his cage shavings from the bottom floor up to the very very top. Clever little guy... but he spilled a good bit. It is hard to take a picture of a gerbil...

Well, you can't really see him but he is in there somewhere. I think I see a beady little eye or a tail or something.

Gosh you ladies really take on the whole little critter thing as pets! I worked with rodents for almost five years and I promised myself and husband we would NEVER let a little thing like that into our house! Good Luck!

If they let him out(scary I know)to play & run around during the day, he will "learn" to sleep at night! Or so they say!!! You can get better pictures of him too if he is out ! Ours sleep in the laundry room!!
Cute house!

Glenna ours has a ball to play in. He will at no time be running around my house on little gerbil legs. He gets in his plastic ball and cruises around. He can go really fast in it.
