Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

The Gerbilettes
I have two gerbils, and just fixed up a 20 gallon aquarium so I would not forever be sweeping up bedding they so enthusiastically love kicking around.
They LOVE it. I have half corncob and half blue Carefresh.
I have some questions though:
They had so much fun kicking and burrowing substrate that by the time I saw them this morning they had completely covered their food dish. Can they locate food by smell even if it is covered?
Gerbils are supposedly community critters. I have 2 and am happy with that. Do you think they are happy with just each other? The 20 is fine for them but more gerbils would get it crowded.

They can locate food amazingly well by smell! (I'm the one who said to give them a cricket). We totally gave up an structure and just let the gerbils shred and decorate themselves. Each day the kids give them a new cardboard or paper item to shred, then at the end of a couple weeks we dump it out and start again. The tank is nearly full to the top by then, with tunnels everywhere. It's a great way to recycle! A whole roll of toilet paper can fill 20 gallons and keep them busy for days. We have 2 males who were raised together and never shown any aggression in 4 years. Pretty old for rodents.
