Our sweet little Barley has died. Last week before she had been taken ill with a respiratory infection, we took her straight to the vets and got her some medicine. Barley was very brave trying to join in with her sisters when they came out to play, but she was very, very poorly. It became obvious Barley was not going to recover so we made the difficult decision to take her back to the vets.

It was a very sad day, we buried her in the garden near her sister Rogue. Even though Barley had the biggest personality of the four gerbils, and was our favourite, we are still taking extra special care of our two remaining little old gerbils, Syrup and Millie.
