Gerbils on the go
My gerbils have been moving across the house over time. They began in my bedroom, but the constant gnawing at the plastic was cutting into my sleep. They ended up in the spare bedroom, but the echos of chewing and spinning wheels could be heard in the room next to it. Then it was the kitchen. They seemed to be doing OK there, but they were taking up valuable space on the kitchen table. Last night, I moved them downstairs.
It took me almost two hours to get everything setup. Most of it is trying to figure out what pipes will get around certain obstacles. I end up removing old tunnels in favor of different configurations. The other part is trying to make sure it is secure enough so that our cats don’t open up any of the tubes. The shelving unit was also adjusted so that the big tanks could fit and have enough space for the tubes coming out of the top.
As usual, the gerbils went crazy crawling all over the place. I think they might have everything memorized by now. I sometimes wonder if they still remember any of the old configurations.

Lewie. Came across your march 5 blog about Arthur Blessitt, the guy who carries a cross around the world. I know him. Odd man, but oddly sincere. And sincerely honest. I have known him for eleven years and have scrutinized him and find him to be strangely all that he appears to be–good. Not a reprimand, just thought you would like to know.

Wow, that’s awesome! I need a setup like that for my gerbils!
