NeverGiveUp❤ We have had my gerbils a while now,about a year now. but they only just let me pick them up.Because we didnt buy them.we adopted them from pets at home.their rehoming scheme is amazing!if you are looking for a pet you should seriously consider it. You dont have to exactly pay but you do have to donate to the rehoming scheme,sign the papers and take it home. The only bad things are they are a bit older and if they have been treat badly in their own home they will need a lot of extra love and attention and they will take longer to bond with you. I was so tempted to give up because they would always bite me and take a massive chunk out of me when i tried to fill up their water. I realy realy wanted to give up but then i realised. I would nevernever do that!it was what their last owner did. I couldnt bear to see them back in the pet shop. And,a few months later im so glad i didnt! I made the right choice. Never give up. It is the right choice.❤i love you gerbils❤
