NEW GERBIL

:O! Gerbil! And old gerbil! Old gerbil needs a few extra low fat treats.

Any suggestions?

And stay safe!

I'll try but my brother apparently brought some sort of annoying head cold or something into the house. Thankfully it doesn't seem to last that long.

Hmm, not sure if you have access to fresh dandelion greens or hay, but apparently they love it.

It's a bit late in the year to get fresh dandelions where I'm at. I know I can get some dried ones at Wal-Mart if I get one of those salad bags they sell in the pet section. I've bought those a time or two before in order to give them to my mice as a special treat when I clean their cage out on a weekly basis. Though, I suppose I could try offering Frank a small amount to see if he likes it. I know he's taken to dry hay in the past. So much so that he ignored his regular feed for a while.

And, I'll admit it's been a while since I've really updated my gerbil/hamster food supply. I tend to use a mixture of a treat mix with a few different kinds of gerbil/hamster feed that can be found at my local Wal-Mart. I figured it was a decent way to vary things up without getting to crazy, but I could buy some more Kaytee options next time I go to Petco. After all, they tend to be one of the few stores I'm aware of that regular carries various Kaytee products.

And I actually do have some Keytee Timothy Biscuits on hand. Though, I think mine our apple flavored. So, I'm not sure if the gerbil would really appreciate them. I know the hamsters tend to ignore them. And my mice will usually only go after them after they've eaten all of the "good" stuff in their food bowls.

So, it's been rather slow going to get rid of them.

Side Note: Frank's previous own was feeding him mouse food for some strange reason. Even though the brand of food she was buying has a feed specifically for gerbils.

Depressing Side Note: Ahsoka and Lacey, one of the family dogs who was a black lab/blue heeler mix, passed away tonight. To make matters worse I really don't have any good photos of Lacey to share at the moment. I never took any photos of her with my new phone and my old phone got absolutely wrecked when it took a nose dive off the top of my computer tower and feel into a cup of ice cold root beer.
