. . . no not the young man who looks after the tables at JFK's . . . the small furry cute type!

Our gerbils have just produced their first litter and they are as cute as anything. Unfortunately we cannot keep them all so wondered if anyone on here would like some for their kids?

They are intelligent social animals and should be kept in small groups - 2 or 3 to a cage. They are desert dwellers in the wild and therefore very clean animals which means they only need cleaning out every 2 to 3 weeks and providing fresh food and water daily. Very easy to look after.

They will be ready to leave their parents from the 11th December but we can hang onto them a little longer if you want them as a Christmas present. They will be separated into same sex groups as soon as they are weaned so no little surprises!

Gerbils are very entertaining - much more so than hamsters or other small animals. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about looking after them.

They are free to a good home. If anyone is interested - let me know!
