Both of us had kept gerbils as teenagers long before we met, so it seemed like fate that we should have gerbils again. Anyone who has had gerbils will know what great fun they are. For such small animals they love human interaction, whether you are feeding them sunflowers or just a giant climbing frame. We have never known a gerbil who doesn’t thrive on attention, some may not be easy to keep hold of, but it doesn’t mean they don’t like you.
September 2007 - March 2010We went to our local pet shop to look at indoor bunny homes, only to discover they ran a small adoption centre. We took one look at the little gerbil curled up in a corner and we couldn’t resist giving him a home.

March 2005 - September 2007A pair of free gerbils! We went to the pet shop for some supplies and things got out of control. So two baby gerbils joined our family.

August 1999 - April 2003Four gerbils, we must have been mad! Oh but what an experience, this bunch kept us very busy with their antics and cardboard chomping.

October 1996 - July 1999This little pair of girl gerbils may have been identical, but their personalities made them very easy to tell apart.

September 1993 - May 1996Lindsay popped down the pet shop unsupervised and returned with this little gerbil.
