My rescue gerbils

[Haruka]

Earl (the Burmese) and Peter are two-year-old gerbils that I acquired in March from a lady on Kijiji who was moving and couldn’t take them with her. They were pretty skittish with me at first, but now they’ll come eagerly for treats.

They are gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen one with a black tail before @Daisy has gerbils too.

Earl’s Burmese colouring is so pretty! Fun fact: His original owner was told he was female at first and she named him Pearl. When she learned otherwise, she dropped the ‘P.’

Clever thinking, just dropping the P!

They are very charming animals with lovely eyes. It's very cute how they sit touching each other and their tails are crossing at the back

My wife took this adorable pic of Earl in the gerbil playpen.

It really is adorable! He's begging and posing I have rarely seen gerbils out of a cage before - it's quite special.

The shoe is a ceramic planter that they can use as a hide.
