Not just one, but two new furkids!

[Vermontcat]

As always it seems like so many Pet Talkers are getting new pets.
I guess I must have been blabbing a lot to my husband about Sasvermont getting her new bunny and Miss Meow getting two new dogs that my husband finally let me get a couple of new pets too!
We were shopping at PetSmart yesterday looking for a new catbed for Samantha, then I got lost in the new horse section for a while.(I love the smell of new horse stuff!)
Then I saw a cute tuxedo kitten up for adoption then we looked at the birds (including a huge blue and gold Macaw) and small critters for a while.
My husband totally surprised me and said that I could pick out a couple of Gerbils!
He knows that I had several pairs of Gerbils over the years before I got Samantha and that for the last couple of years I had been talking about getting a couple of them for our kids.
So, we looked at one that had a pretty Siamese coloring at first but then we ended up with a pair of black female Gerbils.(Just like the pair I owned in college)
So, we brought them home and my daughter named them Chocolate and Brownie.
I will be working on getting some new photos today and maybe posting them tonight or tomorrow.

Yes! LOL We need some more rodents around here! I LOVE gerbils and have had them in the past. I think they are fantastic pets! Can't wait to see pics. They sound so beautiful. I used to have two black girls too, white spotted ones. Do yours have the white headspot and feet?

I was in a panic at the start of the post, and I thought, "nooooo, don't tell me she's getting two pups and a bunny at the same time!!!" I can relax now Congratulations on your new additions - and I just love their names!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH, smells good doesn't it!?! I love that smell too! Even the used tack smells nice!

CoNgRaTs on the new additions, I can't wait to see some *adorable* pictures!!

Ok, I have a couple of new photos but it wasn't easy because they move so fast!
Here are Chocolate and Brownie together in their cage.

Here they are side by side.

I'm pretty sure that Chocolate is on the left and Brownie is on the right.

Here is Chocolate in her exercise ball.

You can't see in these photos but they both have white fur on their chins and throats and a tiny bit of white on their front paws.
They are very tame and will crawl right into your hand when you reach into their cage.

YLL, I knew that you would understand the attraction of new horse stuff! By the way, how many ratties do you have now?
I like your new signature photo.

The only Gerbils I have ever seen were much lighter in color. Yours are beautiful, Vermontcat!!! We have never had Gerbils, but have enjoyed the company of many hamsters over the years. I pledged that I would never have anymore, but you are waking up my desire!!!

they are very cute, I would suggest putting some unsented toilet paper in their tank/cage so that they can burrow

Oh, I love Chocolate and Brownie. They are so cute. Congratulations on your new additions.

Hi. I want to ask everyone a question that anyone can answer. I may be getting a parakeet for christmas, but there is one down side. I'm going on vacation next year, and we don't know where to put my guinea pig or who to take care of it. Cause I have a guinea pig, too. And if I get a bird, we won't have any one to take care of it, either. So, here's my question: Does anyone know of any animal borders or kennals where people will take care of your pets..... just like dog kennals where people will take care of your dog? In MAINE. PLEASE respond. Thanks.
