A couple of pics of the girls

I had a little photoshoot with my girls yesterday, nothing special I'm afraid, but I just thought you might like to have a little refreshment of the Lancashire Lasses

. My camera is still a little loopy, it flashes when it pleases Anyway, a little update, the gerbils have a new cage, it's better for them as it's a lot deeper than the last one so they are having a lot of fun digging! I tried to get a good picture of it, but my brother was having a strop and insisted on standing in front of it

And the gerbils (on these pics, no idea which is which, they were all so hyper I just took pics as fast as I could!)

Tia coming next...

I love this pic of her. Just a split second after I took the picture, she fell off the toy reindeer's head (onto another teddy, so she's fine

)

Attack of the toy dog!

Heh heh, playing with the camera settings

As I said, not very exciting pics unfortunately, but I'll try and get some better ones in the future

Awww -- they're all so cute, and the extra deep new cage will be great for them to dig around in now

And Tia has the cutest little face in the reindeer pic!

I have a large box of biodegradable packing peanuts (they're made of puffed corn starch) that the ferrets like to dig around (and fight) in - good for a laugh, especially now that its colder and they come out with them clinging to their tails

Thanks everyone!

Just a little update about the cage, the gerbils are doing great in it. Ebony has more energy than ever and Twilight is digging tunnels for England

It's also benefitting Nightshade.

In the previous cage, the gerbils used to chew like crazy as I think they were getting a bit bored not being able to dig that much. Nightshade had a habit of chewing the bars, and she chewed them so much that a small patch of fur was beginning to rub off on her snout. It was only a tiny patch, and of course, nothing serious that caused her pain, but was beginning to look a little odd. Now, with plenty of digging to be done, the fur is growing back and she looks fine again.

I tried to take a before-and-after pic, but if you've ever tried to take a picture of a gerbil's nose with a mentally challenged camera, you'll know how hard it is!
