So, I got a new baby gerbil boy. His name is Pip Squared. However, my dilemma is that all that I have is my old guinea pig's cage and he can fit through the bars on it. So, right now, I have him in a little travel cage. I want to...

Do you like rodents?

maximax8 @maximax8 (31042) • United Kingdom 20 Feb 08

I had gerbils when I was a teenager. I had a gray one called Nod and a brown one called Wink. I liked the way they dug tunnels in the large glass tank they lived in. I still like gerbils and also like hamsters. They look so sweet...

Any ferret owners out there? Or other pet advice?

lisado @lisado (1227) • United States 14 Feb 08

I put this under the "friend" topic since basically that is what we are looking for. A new little friend to adopt and bring home. We just haven't nailed down the type exactly. I have been thinking about getting a ferret for...

Here is my BIG pet question? How many pets do you own?

ajmccrary1986 @ajmccrary1986 (454) • United States 7 Jul 07

I'll tell you how many pets I own. I have a dog, cat, a gerbil, and between my brother and I, nine hermit crabs. If you don't think I have a zoo, then tell me how many pets you have at your house.

What kinds of pets do you have? And which ones are you closest to?

gwendovere @gwendovere (1279) • United States 29 Apr 07

I have several different kinds of pets, but I feel the greatest bond with my cats and with rabbits. They're small, cuddly (sometimes), clean, and soft.. and quiet. I like to just sit & relax & cuddle with them, and to watch...

Cockatiels

ajmccrary1986 @ajmccrary1986 (454) • United States 19 Apr 07

I love cockatiels, but my cat already goes after my gerbil, and he doesn't understand that this "critter" is mine. I can't help feeling sorry for him. That's why I can't get a cockatiel, unless I moved out on my own. However,...

I think gerbils are GREAT pets. Anyone else agree?

monkeygirl17 @monkeygirl17 (167) • United States 26 Dec 06

I just can't get enough of them. They are super cute, make little "waste", friendly disposition, quiet, little to no odor, cost only a couple dollars a month to feed, and they have little health problems. I think they are...
