Zara,

Thanks for sharing the pictures of your beautiful girls. It brought back many fond memories of my childhood. When I was in elementary school, my parents bought me two gerbils. My Dad bought a metal bookcase and enclosed it in plexiglass so they'd have a 3 tiered "condo", lined in carpeting. They had a blast!!! As I got older, we donated the condo and the gerbils to my teacher for his classroom.

Great pictures!!
