Introducing.....the Gerbil Girlies!

[Miss Z]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first PT pet introduction, and not one, not two, but THREE beautiful gerbil girls! Yes, it was time for another pet, and myself and my brother finally conviced our parents on gerbils. We were originally setting out for two, but these three were the last left of their litter, so we had all three. Their names are Morning Twilight, Ebony Energy and Deadly Nightshade, or just Twilight, Ebony and Nightshade. So, without further ado, onto pics and a video! Sorry the pics aren't too good, my flash on my camera has gone crazy, and as it's their first day we don't want to disturb them too much



Ebony : The Hyperactive one. Ebony has already discovered that she can reach speeds of 90mph on her wheel



Nightshade : The sleepy one. Well, she would sleep a lot more if her sisters didn't jump on her all the time!



Twilight : The Digger. Within minutes of arrival, Twilight already managed to shift about a handful of shavings out the cage onto the floor!



Ebony gives Twilight the routine tail inspection.

Video in next post!

And of course, here's a little video. The gerbil you see most of is Ebony, at the end she tries to jump on top of the little house, but I just pressed the button just as she fell off. Ah well, I'm sure Ebony will be the entertainer and provide me with plenty more camera gold moments.

Hope you all enjoyed! Boy, I am so happy!

Congratulations!! They're all so very beautiful. I've been thinking about buying a lone gerbil that has been at a petstore for months and months.. but I'm unsure if I should. :/
Your three are absolutely gorgeous! And they look to give you plenty of entertainment. =D

Thanks a lot everyone! Ebony still hasn't settled down yet, in between her spouts of vigourous wheel-running, she entertains herself by jumping on her sisters who are trying to sleep! Needless to say, they squeak a lot at her

Ebony's also the bravest one, I've had my hand in the cage for a few minutes and she's quite happy to jump all over it, whereas Twilight and Nightshade need a little coaxing.

And, of course, Tia is pretty horrified!!! I took her into my brother's room so she could just look at them, and she froze, then gave me this look which clearly said, ' Oh my gosh, HOW COULD YOU?' She's giving me the cold shoulder a little and gnaws my knuckles as if she's teaching me a lesson. I'm sure she'll come round in time.

Oh, I also forgot to mention how to tell them apart, other than their personalities. Twilight has one white front paw and a smudge of white on her nose and under her chin. Ebony's front paws are both half-white and she has a lot more white under her chin. Nightshade has one front paw half-white, whilst the other paw has an unusual circle-like pattern of white, and she has a perfect line of white under her chin.

Awwww, congrats, Zara! How exciting, they are sooo cute and I love their names! They look like a lot of fun!

Hugs to Miss Tia!!

OMG! They are so cute!!!
I love your gerbils, they remind me so much of my RB gerbils Chocolate and Brownie.
You did a good job getting photos of all 3 of them and a video too.
It is so hard to take good photos of black gerbils because they are so dark and gerbils are so hyper in general.
You will have so much fun with them.
I did the same thing that you do to tell them apart, by looking at the amount of white on their paws.
Of course when they are all curled up together sleeping it will be hard to tell them apart but their unique personalities will help keep you from getting them confused most of the time.
Congratulations on your cute new additions and let me know if I can help you with any gerbil info.

Congrats Zara, they are so cute!!!

[Miss Z]

Thanks a lot everyone! They're so friendly, and I've just been able to hold Nightshade, who is the most nervous one, for the first time today!

Thanks Vermontcat for the offer of helping and I remember seeing Chocolate and Brownie as POTD, they were such adorable little fluff-bundles.
