My gerbil died. r.i.p. Thirteen
He died yesterday while i was sick and unable to check up on them. I found him today while trying to give them treats. Poor Twelve had to deal with a dead companion for a whole day. I feel so horrible. Now I'm going to go buy him a new cage and new toys and a new ball so he will be happy and give him all the love i can so he doesn't get sick and die. Gerbils need companionship and without which they get depressed and get sick.
R.I.P. Thirteen, I will miss you terribly.
Wow, that is (or was) like the cutest thing ever! We don't have those here.. They look half way between a guinea pig and a mouse. Squirrel maybe?? My birdie died last year. It was very sad. Haven't been able to bring myself to buy a new one yet. Don't worry Erin! You'll be fine! Hope you get better :)
Sorry to hear about Thirteen :/
Perhaps when the sadness passes, you can find another companion for Twelve. I'm sure Twelve would appreciate the gesture.
