    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I think Mom's tired...

I can't believe she didn't wake up when I opened her drawer.

They would be just your normal run-of-the-mill gerbils.

If y'all thought MICE were bad about eating their babies... This is the first litter that they haven't decided to cannibalize. :eatsmiley

I just keep them to use for scenting pinky mice for the stubborn baby corns. It seems to work quite well.
 
haha, thats priceless

man, when i was working with gerbils a few years back the babies didn't last 6 days

I never really had a problem with the Gerbils eating their babies, but those darn Hamsters!:hot:

Bah... Hamsters can eat their babies into extinction for all I care! :raspberry
I've never been bit by a gerbil or mouse, both of which I have several. I've never owned a hamster, but I think that every one I touched for the three years working at a pet store bit me at least twice!

I do have to say that it seems like gerbils are less likely to eat 'em if pregnant mommy has a cage to herself.

Nah... with as difficult as they seem to be to raise, as expensive as they are (compared to mice) and as quirky as they can be, I don't use them as regular feeders. I did have to ONCE, and that was for my adult female BP. I mostly just keep them to scent mice for the baby corns and whatever the BP is eating. Even then, I just use some of their dirty bedding, which isn't going to hurt the gerbils none. :>poke2<:
