I
have very nice pets. They are gerbils and their names are Maximilian and
Tamino. This one is Tamino. He has darker colors than his friend you can
see behind him. They both play the whole day running! This is because they
are special kind of rodent, they are "run mice" also known as gerbils.
They are found in the wild in Mongolia. I got my two friends in 2008. We
went in to a pet shop, and bought them both so they can keep each other
company when I am at school. They were very small then, but now they are
very big. The second picture is Tamino's baby picture. Maxi and Tamino
both like green vegetables to eat and like running as I said.
This is a part of their cage, you can see they have a shelf, it is above
Tamino's head the pictures. He is a very good jumper, and sometimes hops
up there, and then hops back down, like he is doing this for exercise, or
to show off. You can see how much he is grown, the shelf is in the same
place, but it is not a far jump for him now. They have a big cage, and at
the right of the picture you can see the little "cave" they like to hide
in. They always bury it in the bedding! He also likes to run and explore
when I let them out of the cage for some free time. Tamino is fun and he
is the best pet in the world!
