Cleaning
I don't think I can handle any more surprises from cleaning our gerbils cage. The day after Christmas I went to clean the cage and I could only find one of the two. I dug through the bedding and James was defiantely missing. Who knows how long he had been gone (he was shy and didn't always come out when we fed them.) So, we have been keeping an eye out and an open ended prayer for his safety. We told Alex he just went on vacation. He seemed to take it pretty well. Well, today I went to clean the cage and lo and behold... 6 little pink babies are nestled in the box with Henry. Well, Henrietta I guess. And here I was worried that he(she) was lonely. Hmmph. They will be ready for new homes in about 8 weeks. Help! I'll post a picture once they get hair.

That happened to us when I was a kid. My mom bought two male hampsters and a year later we had like 30 or so. Through out the year we had more but some got eaten by their own mothers - gross! We eventually let them all go in the desert because we couldn't get rid of them. I'm sure they were great food for some creatures!
Poor James couldn't handle the pressure of being a father :)
