Black mottled Gerbils

I already have a cage for the pair of gerbils I will soon get. I want to eventually breed them but first I'll need to get completely moved in to my new room. I'll also need proper shelving and habitats for them. Until then, I'll start off with a couple of boys and name them Shawn and Gus.

I really want some that look just like this. Then our family will have a b&w dog, b&w rabbit, and b&w fish!

Here is an awesome website to learn about gerbils, breeding, feeding, behavior, and their different colors and patterns. I really like the black heavy mottled ones. 
 I found one I want to buy! I had to call about 20 different pet stores in this area. I finally found a black mottled one but it's an hour away in downtown Pittsburgh. My mom is going to take me to get it tomorrow afternoon.

Our family has had 5 different gerbils in the past. Three lilac ones were sisters (for years we thought they were boys). [I have improved at telling their sexes]. We also got a brown one, to pair with one of the lilacs. Later a friend gave us a tan one and we paired her with the lilac because the brown had died. Eventually after a few years all the lilac ones passed but my other friend still has the tan one. Their names were Ralph & Roo, Remy (lilac) & Emile (brown) and Sunshine (tan).

Someday...


Someday I was to visit India. If I like it, maybe I'd spend some time as a student teacher. But I don't want to go alone, I would have to go with close friends because I know I would miss home too much.

6 days!


I am so excited for this move! In less then a week my family will be relocating to a home just a few miles from my college. It has 2 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, and a deck! I miss having a deck. Not to mention the Jacuzzi. =] Oh and I didn't even mention our family got a puppy! Her name is Fabelle.
